Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

I Don'T Have the Time

I just don't think so; I don't have the time
   I'm put-upon all day, from nine to nine
Give it to someone else less busy than me to do
   I sure wouldn't want to disappoint YOU

I've got kids to feed and take to school
   Then there's work all day in between carpools
When all that's done, I've gotta cook and clean
   Oh, I'd like to help you; I don't want to seem mean---

But you understand, don't you, that I mean no offense
   And that everything I'm saying makes perfect sense
So please find someone else, who can do it right away
   ~ Someone who works only THREE shifts a day!

Jennifer Proxenos November 8, 2018 at 9:16 AM Hi Gershon, I posted a poem today about how hectic life is and our frustration concerning all our obligations and how guilty we feel, when in fact we should never be! Great write, Kind regards, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf November 8, 2018 at 3:31 PM Hi, Jennifer! Thanks for the encouragement... And now, to read your poem! Best wishes, Gershon

Line Gauthier November 7, 2018 at 4:31 PM Perfectly penned. I sure can relate, Gershon. They always say that if you want something done you should give it to someone who is busy!!! Gershon Wolf November 7, 2018 at 7:41 PM That's the ticket. That's why I never let myself get too busy. (Ha, ha). Thanks, Line. :) gw
