In the blank PAD 4-2

 In the Week Before Kenya

 

Excitement and a bit of trepidation mount

as we scramble to do the last-minutes things

such as get some shillings from the bank,

buy some neutral-colored slacks for safari,

correct the mistake on the travel insurance.

 

I’ve already done most of the getting ready

with stops in Mesa and Nebraska first.

But my Nebraska sister is getting in a tizz

and feels for some reason that she needs

to clean her garage first, so we’ll do that tomorrow.

 

And, of course, I have to see my darling

great nieces and great nephew

who happen to be the cutest kids in the world

and give them each a pack of plastic safari animals

so we have objects with which to tell our stories.
