Take a minute and think RIGHT NOW,
If you lost your talis & tefillin would someone know how,
To return the precious objects to it's rightful owner
So that you don't have to rely on finding a loaner
So do it IMMEDIATELY, write your contact information on your boxes and bag,
And then you won't have to experience facial sag,
Because you will have a much better chance of getting your talis and tefillin,
If someone knows to whom it belongs and where they can send 'em
