Poetic Asides asked us to write about location. Nothing says location – or loquacious – like those damned Garmans!
LOQUATOR
He bought a Garman off the Net
Maybe so he’d be spared pulling over
and asking directions?
Yeah, it’s a guy thing.
It sits on his dashboard
like a chunky trophy
and says, “Course correction” a lot.
He set the voice to “Female Euro-trash.,”
which pissed off his girlfriend,
who refers to it as “Garmina the Map Slut.”
Gadgetmaster of Expensive, Trouble-making Toys,
thy name is Pete.

She actually calls her “Garmine,” like “garmeen,” but the map slut was mine. And she is just that, a snooty, Princess Di wannabe eurotrash slut!!

The title came first, Pamela. Guess I was channeling “the Governator” from California, LOL. Amy

I wonder how a map slut would be marketed these days. Quite funny stuff indeed! Brett

Funnier because it’s true. She actually is jealous and called the disembodied voice a slut!!

I’m sure some brainiac at an advertising agency will figure it out and put ads on Fox News Channel pronto!

Ha ha, you’re right, Brett! Amy
