Farewells said
Instructions given
Not long now
till I’m delivered
Dry your tears
you should be glad
To say goodbye
to poor old dad
The house is yours
so keep it clean
Vacuum and polish
make it gleam
Trim the hedges
cut the grass
Water the flowers
the time will soon pass
Before you know it
the time will come
When I’ll return home
from my holiday in the sun
Wishing you were here

This made me laugh out loud the first time I read it
Thank you for your comments, I wrote it to Be misleading.
Well that’s definitely not what I expected. A superb poem and a twist at the end which made me smile. A clever write.
Well done twist at the end.
