Confused Highway

In the northern backwoods county
Known as Pasco
Are two highways
One directionally savvy
The other without a clue.

Facing north and south
301 is the smarter one
Facing east and west
98 must be a blonde
In her mistaken
Directional sense.

Upon all the signs
In big bold letters:
North, arrow pointing west
South, arrow pointing east
Someone didn’t inform
Poor 98 that if you see
The morning sun before you
You aren’t facing north or south.

But this the backwoods
Of Florida,
It should only be expected
That out here the sun
Rises in the South.
