There’s No Place Like Home
People never have to leave home now. They can be home-birthed, home-schooled and work from home. They can have meals and groceries home-delivered.
If they get sick – homeopathy.
All their friends – homies.
All their hits – homers.
They can even visit the Great Outdoors by sitting on their ovens where they’re Home, Home on the Range.
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.
