Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Yann Rolland, Please Take Note

        Birdwatchers are not clock-watchers
               Fishermen are not either

	Avid readers are not clock-watchers
               Neither are violin makers
                  Or ship-builders 
               
         We now stand where right where we were 
          as the curtains opened ~ the conductor peeking through 
                   Deja vu

Judy Ball June 2, 2026 at 11:25 AM Well said Gershon. In my experience anyone who is a clock watcher is not really interested in what he is doing. He just wants to get it done and go home. He's in it for the pay cheque. God Bless, JB
