I'M READY TO GO BUT I CAN'T CHOOSE THE TIME

I waited so long

for a break of some kind

I thought I wouldn't live

long enough to see it come


and now nearly tapped out

not one but three offers of work

hound my attention

feast or famine as the old timers used to say


I've spent years telling people

who'd ask how I'm doing

that God must have a worse fate

in store for me but now


I'm as likely to say I'm just glad

the Reaper is busy elsewhere....
