Re-Trafficked Redress



Well it wasn’t th’ way we’d planned it to be - and 
all too clearly - nor had other road traffic we thus
encountered on our way from The Creek: the first 
traffic glitz set standards tho’ - and with panache, 
it re-echoed less than 5 kilometres down th’ track 
where we encountered another ‘queue’s’ tail-end 
with nothing to suggest it wasn’t part of th’ same 
inane road survey, & wordlessly we simply joined 

Bracalba Quarry wasn’t th’ cause tho, and semis 
loaded to the gills joined into the same queue for 
journeying south-east to Caboolture, or the main 
highway & further afield - we soon realised there 
wasn’t a control plan - or any return traffic flows, 
unless counting those who U turned to go back 

And so did we - returning to a completely stupid 
D’Aguilar traffic control zone, where wait timings 
were at behest of dense controllers - all unaware 
of a huge snarl down the track, uncaring anyway 
as its someone else’s crash, so no worries mate, 
most likely we’ll let y’ thru’ - but y’all drive slow 

That it mattered less than a hiccup said all we’d 
care to express - we didn’t best need to drive to 
Caboolture to achieve what we’d accomplish as 
easily in just visiting Woodford village: yet those 
same deeds create dilemmas others had t’ face 
simply without a farcically re-trafficked redress
