If It Isn'T One Thing
A worrier will never lack
A reason for her worry
And if that gets resolved she'll find
A new one in a hurry.
Such people never drift along
Enjoying and relaxing
Since problems pop up everywhere
For psyches needing taxing.
An old-time phrase I've often heard,
Perhaps from my own mother,
Is "If it isn't one thing
You can bet that it's another."
The "it" is not identified
But clearly it's not good
And if it doesn't worry you,
Look out! Because it should!
I envy those who have the knack
To float without a care.
If all these things just disappeared,
I'd love to join them there.
