What pace, I have had a hot chase
Yet I am not done with it all
Too short and too many short shrifts
To matters major and minor
Balance sheet is not yet ready
What pace, I have had a hot chase
But then I’m not a company
In the red, might be as usual
I am not a profitable
Proposition, I would agree
What pace, I have had a hot chase
How it all slips through my fingers
Nearer to my next birthday I’m
Going to feel old on that day
In this rabbit and turtle race
What pace, I have had a hot chase
Note: This is a very old poem of mine written in free verse now adapted to the Quatern form
For Dr. Mehta’s contest
