Friday Poem #251: Another Last Minute Poem

Another last minute poem

Written off the cuff

I’d had plans to plan this

But just never enough

Time in the day

Or the evenings too

You know how it is

Always something to do

Some job that needs doing

Paintwork renewing

Not even enough time

For some TV viewing

There’s nothing ever on

Just rubbish or noise

Girls with their tops off

Or muscular boys

Life moves so fast

I can’t keep track of time

Maybe it’s a sign that I’m older

Although that’s not a crime

It’s just one of the consequences

Of our busy lives

But maybe I should take stock

Reprioritise

And make time to make rhyme

Keep the urge to write words

Just put pen to paper

Not put off till’ later

Because later never happens

All we have is the now

And look, once again

I’ve written a poem – somehow.
