Timing

Timing is the key to whether Many things pan out. We wait too long, we’ve missed the boat; We know what that’s about. Procrastination may cause Opportunities to fade And then regret kicks in For the decisions we’ve not made. The timing of a venture May determine its success. Too soon or late may wreck it, Thereby adding lots of stress. Comedians are criticized If they can’t nail their timing, Like rhythmless musicians (Or a poet bad at rhyming).

Timing I had when I was acting...and I hope I'm getting the rhyming thing down, now, as well. Your timing and rhyming are spot on in this delightful piece, Ilene.

I'm a bit more relaxed these days but when I was at work I lived by the clock. Tom

I really like your poem, Ilene, because it is so true from first to last word. Someone, I have no idea who, said "Timing is everything," and I tend to agree with that. You've pointed it out very well and with a touch of humor.
