T'aint Free

The topic of free time, I thought,

Well, how hard could that be?

I thought of things I’d like to do

If Free Time came to me . . .

Spend lots of it with family,

All those who mean the most to me.

I write. I’d read. I’d sit and sew,

There’s lots of places that I’d go.

To restaurants both far and near,

Attend good plays of which I hear,

Then further, still, I’d up and fly,

To foreign countries with my guy.

Well now you see with staying put

Or being on the run,

I’d need all time to be free time

To get these matters done.

I'd have to work to pay for them,
Cause nothing comes for free
And so 'Free Time' is not a whit,
Of what it seems to be.

      

Mondays do get knocked a lot,

With poetry, we three besought,
To try to make the week begin
With pleasant thoughts--perhaps a grin?
So Jenny and Delores, we,
Have posted poems for you to see.
And now you've seen what we have brought . . .
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week, because our summer's done,

We'll talk of Fall! This should be fun...
