Get a Life
"You're old" they said, "Not worth your salt"
That's what the young folks say.
"Get a life" they said, "Go back to bed"
"you're only in the way"
I'll get a life as soon as I have finished raising kids
Have finished doing dishes, have finished making beds
Have finished playing "Taxi" to you and all your friends
Have finished paying bills, have fininshed meeting ends
I'll "Get a life" when I am done
with work I have to do
To help down at the shelter
and at the churches too
With PTA and parties
vacations and the like
I don't have time..........there is no time
For me to get a life.
I wrote this when I was active in our Poetry Society and it won a prize
