A Packing Fairy

I’m leaving on vacation soon,
My suitcase mostly packed,
But certain items I’m deciding
If I should extract.

That extra long-sleeved shirt?
And will I really wear my jeans?
I need a packing fairy
Who swoops in and intervenes.

She’d point her wand and I would have
Exactly what I need
And from the drama in my mind
I’d thankfully be freed.

But as it is, I’ll do the job
And while I’m gone, I bet
I’ll agonize ‘bout things I brought
And those I did forget.

Yes, indeed, like I've done many times, thinking I've packed everything I need only to find out at my destination I forgot not one for two things! Fortunately, those forgotten things (in my case, at least) didn't cost a fortune, so I can buy them anew. Happy vacation. If you're flying, hope the lines aren't long! / M
