Carry-On
I hate to check my luggage
When I’m about to fly.
I much prefer to carry-on
And here are reasons why -
My suitcase can’t get very lost
If it’s within my reach
And no one’s hands have riffled through,
An oft-occurring breach.
But mostly it’s a case of time –
I really hate to wait
Until the baggage carousel
Begins to activate.
And so I schlep my bag aboard;
My husband heaves it high
And hopefully, there’ll be a space
For it to occupy.
