It’s not like you intentionally did it
despite meticulous planning
down to the last second
you left some items on the mantlepiece
on your way out of the door
So as you make your way to the station
Your tickets and wallet in hand
with your bags and suitcase all with you
its just as you had planned
Alas, there’s something missing
Left on the kitchen table
Your passport to sunny times, you’ve left behind
so back home you go if you’re able
So while others have jetted off, to sun sea and sand
a return taxi home, for yourself is planned
while they enjoy, eat drink and play
Your time in the sun, has been cut short by a day
