Frances Byrne Poet Rhyme

Time Management

If I am planning my day
In my head I say
This time do not be late
Do not put too much on your plate 

My intentions are good
As you know they should 
But it is with these good intentions
The road to hell is paved
So how is it for me time always gets shaved

People will phone to have a chat
I like that
The doorbell will ring
Is it for me
Oh lets see
What should I say
Go away

Try as I might to get it right
Time marches on
Without me it seems
And to my horror and dismay
The clock will display
My delay

So what do I do
Someone give me a clue
Throw me a line
Teach me about time

Ann Foster August 29, 2019 at 6:20 PM intentions are good... well let me tell you I have a list of "good" ones, yet the list refuses to decrease, regardless of effort. Loved the write. Excellent words. Ann Frances Byrne August 29, 2019 at 6:35 PM Hi Ann, I am delighted you enjoyed it, thanks for your compliments.

Jeanne Mcgee August 19, 2019 at 8:52 AM Hi Frances...seems a lot of us have this time problem...my family always plans for me to be late! I've taken to setting my clocks ahead 5-10 minutes and it has really helped. Love your poem and the images. Jeanne Frances Byrne August 19, 2019 at 3:45 PM Hi Jeanne, My family say I will be late for my own funeral. I have tried the clock, it did help. Thanks for the compliment, appreciated, Frances
