Busy busy
Nobody has the time
To take things easy
All are trying to make a dime

Go here
Pick up chips
Go there.
Got some color for my lips.
*
Grab dinner
Pick up the kids
Feel like a winner
Made some eBay bids

Take the dog to the vet.
Stop to pick up dog food.
Once you think you're all set
Remember to check under the hood.

Oil is low
Windshield wipers are tattered.
Tires are about to blow.
All in all, the car is battered.

Busy busy
Nobody can slow down
To take things easy
All are trying to buy a crown

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

This is soooo true! Loved your poem!
True and relatable story! And sometimes we don’t always have the finances to get everything done. I don’t know how my car is still running haha. Loved this quirky but meaningful meditation that we just need to slow down and soak things in, do one thing at a time and be mindful! Kudos!! ☺️👌👏👏
“Oil is low” this is so relatable.
An important message well conveyed ❤️👌 Great job 👏
Wonderfully said!!! Loved it!!!♥️♥️
