Were you better at this than me?
Yes, years ago I had no clue
Now I've packing PhD
I pack all socks inside the shoes
A suitcase like a bedroom drawer
Take out one item, then you find
It shuts the way it did before
Swimsuit or night dress left behind?
No, everything is in its place
I'm short of space so I confess
Just one thing more, I weigh my case
I wear a third reversible dress
For our return I have a list
What might be lost? Now I can see
An image, to fret about what's missed
Only one shoe. one sock, dear me
I find lost shoes under the bed
Under pillows a nightdress
A picture in my phone and head
Will haunt long flights, nightmare distress
A kind air hostess took my jacket
Wrapped round duty free gifts I'd bought
Because I had no room to pack it
Have I learned all the things I taught?
Yes, I count bags at every stage
Arrive with bags, caps, coats in threes!
But one thing makes the others rage
Because I've lost the suitcase keys!
