lyrics

put away the toothbrush
the sample-sized lotions saved
and rationed out for each day
return back into place
our snacks for the trip
the novels set aside to read
more shoes than one ever needs
it wasn’t meant to be

new swimsuit, pyjamas, and all the masks,
the outfits picked out for the travels
all back to the closet
alongside the business suits put away
for when we return to the office one day

and usually unpacking is a relief,
glad to be home
after the glow of a journey
it seems so trite to feel a bit heartbroken
over a simple cancelled vacation
but the trampling of dreams
surprisingly cuts deep

what do i do now
could check work emails
or lie on the couch and slip into the deepest sleep

some day i'll re-pack my suitcase again.

****

sleep little kitties, you are safe
your humans aren’t going any place
anywhere else, any time soon
we are here to stay with you

all day long and every day
with our kitties we will remain
there’s no nowhere else for us to go
nothing to do but snuggle you so

thank you kitties, our fur friends
for your company that you lend
giving us someone to talk to
to hug and love and play with you
giving us something to do
giving us something to do
