I could give you directions
to the ends of a rainbow,
but the *** of gold is only
at one.

I could give you directions
on the use of a boomerang,
but if it doesn't come back,
it was not meant for you.

I could give you directions
on how to make someone
else happy but the same may
not work for yourself.

I could give you directions
but they will never be the
shortest distance between
two points.

I could give you directions
on where to find happiness,
but there is no need for me
to indicate with my finger.

I could give you directions
because I am dyslexic and
being astray is a state I have
perfected and appreciated.

I couldn't give you directions
at the crossroads, because the
stolen sign is in the back seat
of my car, it is why I'm lost!
Some years back when it
was my turn to go to Cork
city from Mallow 20 miles,
I noticed a sign with one
bolt missing " Mallow 3
miles. I stopped the car and
undid it. Went to Cork, bought
the drugs, drank a few pints
of Guinness and a couple of
Whiskey's, came back the same
route, stopped at the cross roads
and had no idea how to get home.
