T’was the night before vacation and all through the house; no one could sleep, especially my spouse.
We ran through the day over and over again; We both wanted to sleep, we were leaving by ten!
The packing was done, everything ready to go; the neighbors all watched, we put on quite a show.
With Dad going to the left and me going right; the kids down the middle, only concerned where they rest their heads at night.
We thought we were careful and just packed what we needed but the list seemed to be endless, I felt nearly defeated.
But then what to my tired eyes did appear, It was a clear table top, the end was so near!
Some folks wanted to help and others came to say goodbye; It was late before we knew it, the time just flew by.
Finally left alone with our thoughts and last minute plans, My husband ran through the list in his hands…
It read “Got comet, got cleaner, got stove and got towels,
got food, got beer, use the rest stops to move your bowels”
The list was complete. We had everything we wanted to have a wonderful vacation and RV around the country.
And as we leave our home and drive out of sight, Happy and Safe Travels to All, we’ll be back soon so leave on a light!
