There isn’t a quick route to the south-west,
M4 and M5 is what’s quickest, so is it the best?
I do not think so, because the M4,
Is fast and it’s furious – it’s also a bore,
And it seems like Via Michelin agrees with me,
They say the best route is the A303.
It snakes through the country, it isn’t direct,
It’ll challenge your patience, your intellect,
At times it will narrow to one lane each way,
And you’re left in a queue for most of a day,
But catch it on days when the traffic’s sublime,
And you’ll reach your destination in the shortest of time,
For example, you travel on a Christmas Day,
And a four hour journey is 2 hours each way.
If your reason deserts you, your patience is spent,
You’ll catch sight of Stonehenge on a long, slow descent,
And your courage returns and your vigour renews,
The journey is then one that you feel you would choose,
So, traveling westward? I think you’ll agree,
The only way there is the A303!
