Notes About The Poem
Contest: Dealing in Time
Spondor: Joseph May
A Stitch in Time Saves Mine
If money were time, I’d be cheap as hell,
For all earthly treasures I’d never sell.
For a rainy day,
I’d squirrel it away
From avaricious eyes - in a nutshell.
I would treat minutes as a pricey bill,
I would ration heirloom hours better still.
As it flies away
I would seize the day,
Scratch and save each fleeting year if you will.
In a piggy bank every sec I’d store,
I’d invest every moment, some and more.
I’d spend the last “dime”
On my precious time,
I’d live Here and Now like never before.
