My wife isn’t one to just sit and piddle,
She cares about others and is always on the go.
She’s forever busy but accomplishes little,
Saying “where this day’s gone I do not know.”
She’s always saying “I’ve gotta get it in gear,”
But I’ve learned my “sweetie” only has one speed.
When we leave the house she brings up the rear,
And “waste not, want not” has been her creed.
Most things in my life I have done posthaste,
Now it seems that age has filched this touch.
Twas never my nature just to let time waste,
Fast is now slow, and I too, don’t achieve much.
