Ran to arrive on time.
7a.m. yoga class is not for me.
I'm actually feeling more stressed.

I want my toast and ale
and use the bread that's stale;

so feed me and don't look so pale!

As if I've been asleep, caught in a dream
My life took a leap, oh how far it may seem
The mountain was steep, still I reached the suns beam

Snow Rain Or Sunshine

for all of us too

Just On Time

A guess is either right or wrong
and it's neither wrong nor right.
I am just someone else;
not somebody else.
I am neither late nor early.
It is just on time.

Brotherhood brotherly when's the love come
jab after jab
always right there

made a deal died done the 40 and 40
some love brotherhood would mighty fine
