Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Priorities

There just aren't enough hours in the day 
   I always used to say
      Didn't you?
   It was never true

Should I spell it out for you?
   P - R - I - O - R - I - T - I - E - S
Got it now?
   Thought so

What?
   You say it's too late to do any good for you?
Not until the end
   My friend

Chris Green December 19, 2019 at 7:05 AM Well. let's see...if I got started right now, set a few other things aside, have my coffee, yeah...I can do it, makes sense to me. : ) Gershon Wolf December 21, 2019 at 7:28 PM Sounds like you have your priorities in order, my friend. To forget to sharpen some pencils and water the flowers... :) gw

Kim Rodrigues December 18, 2019 at 7:52 PM Oh yes, all of that! You are a very wise man!

Michelle Faulkner December 18, 2019 at 6:20 PM So true - I tell my hubby, especially around the holidays - exactly that - prioritize! You can't do everything and you will make yourself crazy trying - but he still tries to do it all! Gershon Wolf December 18, 2019 at 10:20 PM Hubby earns his keep though. :) … I have the reverse situation with my wonderful, remarkable wife, who continues to astonish everyone, including me, with her ability to get it all done all the time. Oh well, fellow mortal. Merry Merriment! Cheers, Gershon
