Off On Holiday (Gremlins Beware)

Tread gently, whisper softly

Don`t let the gremlins know

That you are on your journey

It`s best that you tiptoe.



Creep into your car

Before they do their work,

Or they will tamper with your engine

Then they`ll hide and smirk.



Travel on your way at a steady pace

But be very mindful,

Those gremlins are behind you

Rifling through your case.



Then they will steal your passport

Because they love a little book

To write a message in

That your not off the hook.



If you should be lucky enough

To set foot on your plane

They`ll make sure your luggage

You never see again.



At last your destination looms

You give a thankful sigh

But they`ve got there before you

And the rain will make you cry.



Hopefully the little gremlins

Will fall into an exhausted sleep

So you can enjoy your holiday

If you`ve not collapsed into a heap.
