The Time is Now

"Get out the way! Ol' Dan Tucker.  You're too late to get your supper." That's what my turntable had to say. I was a kid. Dad was a trucker.   He blasted the sound, took an upper, Sang, "Sha la la la la la live for today". The girl next door had a naughty plan. She wore a smile that said, "let's play". The time is now.  Don't interrup' 'er. From that wisdom, so much good began - Seize the day!
