Going Home
Time is catching up with the confirmation number of my ticket,
it isn’t long now before I please put on my seatbelt.
Boy, will I miss that retro ‘R’,
24-7 service, 1-800 WHATEVER
Over a decade that has lasted for 5 years,
the common denominator – ‘goodbye’ always catches up;
I will play a game of eight-ball with my friends,
Drink budlite and watch baseball (maybe not the latter)
Hey, I’m going home but maybe I won’t tie the seatbelt too tight…
