Poem
"Some Timely Advice" Long ago when I was young some good advice I did receive. I carry it to this very day and in it I greatly believe! You were told the very same thing, maybe in a different way. It's locked in my mind, it's there all of the time, and now I get to say!.... "Early is on time! "REMEMBER!" On time is late! Late is unacceptable! For NO one does time wait!" Arising in the morning, getting ready to go to school, I would mess around and want to play- My Mom said "Boy, don't you act like a fool!!!" "Now get yourself together, the bus will soon be here!" These very words, I can hear them now. They sound so loud and clear! "Early is on time, "MY SON!" On time is late! Late is unacceptable! For NO one does time wait!" Did military service, later, as a young man. In it the same thing is said but is shouted with a "COMMAND!" You had better "LISTEN!!!" They will not repeat it twice! Believe this when I tell you, they will NOT shout it out nice! "Early is on time, "SOLDIER!" On time is late! Late is unacceptable! For NO one does time wait!" In the day to day work world- "There It Is Again!!!" When you're punching that working time clock, you'd better know the "WHEN!" Lacking punctuality is a crime and a sin! If you don't want to get the "pink slip", you adopt this regimen! "Early is on time, "EMPLOYEE!" On time is late! Late is unacceptable! For NO one does time wait!" In any and everything we do, we should remember this.... the importance of always being "ON TIME".... so not one thing will we miss! I hear it over and over again as if it is on a loop! It's a pleasure to share it in this way, here with.... "Poetry Soup!" (WTA-IV) 3/9/2016
