Bags

In travel, you may check your bags
But sometimes it is wise
To choose a carry-on instead
When taking to the skies.

I much prefer to keep my bags
So there is no surprise
When I deplane, for missing luggage
Tends to traumatize.

Of course, I always have with me
Some bags I do despise,
Which some of you have guessed, I’m sure –
The bags beneath my eyes!

Let me see...I'm sure I have something here that will help with those. Hmmm... Well, 'tis true, we don't leave those behind at the departure gate.

Have heard of some real horror stories regarding missing bags, how hard can it be for the handler to check the label to see which plane it should be loaded on, I hate getting off a plane and watching the carousel go round and round, still no sign grrrrr. Tom
