Do you remember the Charles Addams cartoon
Where uncle Fester grins
While packing his steamer trunk?
Travel stickers cover the thing—
Lusitania, Titanic, Andrea Doria…
“It’s time to go out on the sea,” Auntie says
“Dot dot dot, dit dit dit” Uncle says
“There’s nothing like mid ocean” Auntie says
“In fog” Uncle says
“Maybe we should travel like Mark Antony” Auntie says
“No trunk this time, just our hearts…”
“Being history our hearts can’t float…”
“Better bring the trunk…”
