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!

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.

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!!!
