Everything At Once
Sometimes there's time that you're trying to fill,
A stretch with no upcoming plans,
When suddenly, hours you were needing to kill
Disappear like a movie with pans.
For everything happens at once, so it seems -
Obligations, repairs and requests,
Adding stress to your life and appearing in dreams
Where you find yourself failing all tests.
The expression is apt - either famine or feast
Is the way that the world tends to go
And, of course, at those times you expect it the least
That's when problems and obstacles show.
