Small Talk

So much to say,
So little time;
Rush through each day,
No time to rhyme.


So much to do,
So many things;
To win and woo,
No time to sing.


So much to gain,
So put things off;
Bear hurts and pains,
Live with odd cough.


So much to live,
No time for grief;
So give and give,
For life is brief.
