I wrote this the morning of the actual move. When asked to justify my actions, I explained that it was to be my last creative effort for quite some time and that the internet wasn't going to available for an eternity a couple of weeks so I had to get in while I could.
Anyway, here's my attempt at creativity from 6am yesterday with sleep in my eyes and a frantic husband yelling at trying to organise everyone else in the house ....
Dear friends, please note that our address
Has changed since last you were our guests
When you walked in through the door
And one hour’s stay turned into four.
We emptied the cupboards when the kids went to sleep
And soon found ourselves buried knee deep
In stuff we just had to have at the time
But now just makes us whinge and whine
Oh all the packing we have to do
And oh the dramas we’re going through
It will be worth it in a while
But for now, it’s hard to smile
To try to get the phone connected
Is like trying to get a fly elected
To the exalted office of Prime Minister
You’d think we were trying something sinister!
Our internet has gone away
And won’t be returning for many a day
About fourteen at latest estimate
So please don’t send us many messages
As yet we have no new home phone
But please don’t leave us all alone
We can still be reached on our mobile numbers
Just try not to disturb our much needed slumber!
We’re almost packed and on our way
To the beginning of a brand new way
Of life, of love and many guests
Please come visit us at our new address!
