It's All Rhetoric

Pell-mell I said, we have to go 
As she shilly-shallied about 
Don’t dilly-dally it’s time to leave 
As I called down the hall in a shout 

So she hurry-scurried and grabbed her things 
As she ran hither thither and nigh 
While I cleaned the house spic and span 
Then out the door, down the road we did fly 

There is no hocus pocus to all that we do 
When we run helter-skelter about 
It’s a chance that we take in this hodge-podge of life 
With its pro’s and its con’s are you in or out?
