No Place to Go


The happiest nights
          I ever know
Are those when I've
          No place to go,
And the missus says
          When the day is through:
"To-night we haven't
          A thing to do."

Oh' the joy of it,
          And the peace untold
Of sitting 'round
          In my slippers old,
With my pipe and book
          In my easy chair,
Knowing I needn't
          Go anywhere.

Needn't hurry
         My evening meal
Nor force the smiles
         That I do not feel,
But can grab a book
          From the near-by shelf,
And drop all sham
          And be by myself.

Oh, the charm of it
          And the comfort rare;
Nothing on earth
          With it can compare;
And I'm sorry for him
          Who doesn't know
The joy of having
          No place to go.
