Poem-A-Day Contest - Day 5

Landmarks

I've heard it said so many times.
To give directions you must plan.
If telling a gent, say three blocks west.
Use landmarks for women, but never men.

He'll not get lost, he will insist.
Drive three blocks west and one more south.
Give detailed address, house and street
and not on paper, but by mouth.

When doing the same for any lady.
Say pass the park, and then turn right.
Look for the house with the ivied lamp.
She'll note this down and keep in sight.

And when the appointed time arrives,
Who will be late, can anyone guess?"
Couldn't see numbers in the dark." he'll say.
She arrives early. “Where are the rest?”
