No time

We're all there or soon will be

Haven't got the time
To lose what's left of my mind
Gotta go to work
for the bill collector lurks
With the debts I left behind

Author's Note

Another phone quickie. Despite the fact there's a computer right in front of me

I dig it. A lot of people can relate to this one. Good flow and meter. Well done.

This reminded me of an old song (and I mean old) "Sixteen Tons,"

You load sixteen tons,
what do you get.
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go.
I owe my soul to the company store

Bills are a great motivator.

[Baby Ricochet]

They are. Thank you Blue. We sang that song in the boy Scouts

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Cassie. It's great to hear from you.

A phone quickie, when you put it that way, it sounds kinky, who has time to lose their mind these days, good Baby.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you frieda

[Corset]

is it quicker to use the phone? You can't really blame it on the phone ya know , it's ok, I won't say anything. Not that there is anything to complain about, it's short, it's not even really funny, but it's something being felt around the world. No time for craziness.

[Baby Ricochet]

No time. Thank you corset

Another witty ditty, ha- that sounded cuter in my head. Oh well-- truthful poem is what I'm saying.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you dye

That's for sure. Thanks for stopping by.

I write most of my poetry on my phone :) Very clear and to the point. Basically get your s**t together before you die and there's not much time left before that happens.

[Baby Ricochet]

Exactly. Thank you carolannn
