When Swift Ain'T Fast Enough!

If a bullet's wizz'en at you swift ain't good enough! If you put your glass on the edge of the counter mostly over air you're paying little attention- cause the kids need your care... swift ain't good enough When your youngest trips, to bruise his knees you try to get there, but, you see.... swift ain't good enough When you breath your last breath and the devil comes for you you try to ask God to forgive you as so many do swift ain't good enough When the cops chase you for speeding, and you don't own the car, swift ain't enough When you're tired, real, real tired, and your neck hurts like hell but ya gotta finish your poem... and scurry to get it done... swift ain't good enough When you're working at a feverish pace, at 150% your normal speed, where you're endangering your life, cause this job is one you need, but the boss comes over scowling, wants.. much, much more... swift ain't good enough When you have but a quarter, can't afford a cup of coffee, and payday is approaching... as far as you're concerned... in regards to the passage of time..... Swift Ain't Even Close!!!!!!
