Kith and Kin

When going on vacation
It might be a true win-win
If, like killing off two birds
You get to visit kith and kin.

Seeing family's a no-brainer
If you're living far away,
But a detour to some friends can make
An even better stay.

Relatives might be the people
You have spent your whole lives with;
Still, it's fun and quite relaxing
When you hang out with your kith.

Nicely written as always, Ilene, but I prefer to keep my distance from relatives. Familiarity does breed contempt, you know. Thanks for the stop. / M
