Time On My Hands

Do deadlines and due dates ever rattle my brain No, no - I'm a poet It's not fair to complain I’m free to sit and dream up ideas Or try my wit my reader to please O, lucky me with time on my hands When the hourglass drains ~ just flip the sand

I like the casualness of this write.

Time, between our business which we do from home, and poetry which I love and choose above all, oh and series - a little every night, we have our hands full - we go to bed exhausted, and the next day we do it all again, it seems some never learn! Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

I am, indeed, a very lucky one... Here's to a four-leaf clover popping up for you, Michelle! Smiles, Gershon

When I retired, life was grand; // I stopped wearing the old watch, and // now I’ve got less time on my hand….

Ha, ha, ha, ha! You are as clever as ever, Jeff. I so enjoy reading you comments! Keep those cards and letters coming, my friend. Laughter and levity, Gershon

This is clever as all get out, gw. I enjoyed it, and I thought how it describes so many of us. Sometimes I get into this site and before I know it five hours has gone by!

I know what you mean, Milt. That's why I usually wait until about 8 p.m. or so in the evening to get started. That way, I won't 'overdo it.' Cheers, Gershon
