Had I Known

It's funny how unexpectant we truly are.

         Had I known it was going this far,
         I would've brought a brief case.
         For when I look back on my journey,
         There've been a lot of things I needed,
         A tube of sympathy and a pair of patience.

         Had I known it was going to end like this,
         I probably would've brought a hat,
         One that would fit snug over my ears,
         Since there's been a lot of things I didn't want to hear.
         A nice pair of ear plugs would do fine.
         
         Had I known you never cared,
         I would've brought something to pass the time.
         Like a puzzle and some crosswords.
         Where you've been driving us is nowhere,
         And now I just wish I owned a well drawn map.
