nearly time to go

it's nearly time to go
I have yet to start my packing

time is short I know
guess I better get cracking

I did get a big bag to stow
no excuse now for slacking

why I have been so slow
to get busy keeps my brain sidetracking

I'll get it done no problem though
I better quit sitting here wisecracking

almost time to go

time to go
is nearly here
won't come soon
enough I fear

the kids are happy
and ready to leave
I am too, looking
forward to reprieve

the only thing
that's got me
worried is just
how cold/snowy/icy

it is likely to be
hope we won't feel
too miserable, but
it should be fun still
