Pack your bags,
Evening excitement,
Sunshine,
Passports.
England.
Blustery morning,
Buttoned coat,
Frozen fingers,
But warmer in the evening.
England.
Late-night dinners,
Fish and chips,
Movie for two, but,
Three days left.
England.
Queen’s castle,
Driving on the wrong side,
Attractive Accents,
Messing with the guards.
England,
Rainy day,
Why go outside?
Listen to a band,
Find Daniel Radcliff.
England.
Last day here,
Spend it well,
Found Kate Nash!
Got her autograph too!
England.
Plane ride home,
We want to be back,
Go through our pictures,
Can a plane stop in midair?
England.
Now we’re back home,
Unpacking our bags,
Wishing, wanting,
Leaving to go back to
England.
