Packing for Children

To pack for a weekend With children requires Much more than a tankful Of gas and good tires. You have to remember Their PJ’s and clothes, Their brushes for teeth And for hair, I suppose. Shampoo, soap and toothpaste And lotion for itches, The books they are reading, The iPads and Switches. Perhaps a stuffed creature Or doll that’s a fave And surely some snacks Of the type they would crave. When all is assembled (And yes, it’s a lot!), You climb in the car, wond’ring What you forgot.
