JUST IN CASE

Holidays are here at last — Time for a well-earned break, But now my problems really start ’Cos I don’t know what to take. I’ve packed a dozen T- shirts In case it will be hot, But the climate is so changeable What happens if it’s not? Perhaps I’ll take some sweaters; Best be safe not sorry, And at least one pair of boots — Oh packing’s such a worry! I think I’d better take a coat In case the temperature falls; The last thing I want on holiday Is to traipse round shopping malls. I’ve taken out the T-shirts now And replaced them with my Mac, Plus a hat, warm gloves and woolly scarf — Oh how I hate to pack! Too late, a heatwave’s forecast But we’re already on our way, And all I’ve packed are winter clothes For a summer holiday!
