Taking a leaf out of Jerome's excellent book -

It can read a map precisely,
imparts suggestions nicely
and we always seem to get there in the end.
It doesn’t sulk if I ignore it,
yawn profusely if I bore it,
nor insist that I slow up before a bend.
If I like, we’ll have a natter
but if I disregard its chatter,
its accusatory finger won’t extend.
It won’t comment on my driving
or the length of time arriving
or the way I’ve been behaving
or my frequent lack of shaving
or my tendency for swearing
or the jacket that I’m wearing –
it’s not so much a wife but more a friend.
