Cutting Class
by Linda Coker | It should never ever be allowed,
That tedious time in-between,
Affording an attractive chance for escape
Without ever being seen.
With countless and diverse things to do,
Stairs or mountains to climb,
Boundless prospects for immediate action,
When left with far too much time.
Just one brief stop for a quick cup of hot,
Can become a luxurious retreat
Of relaxation too grand to resist--
A cup or two leads one to eat.
That time in-between is most deadly,
It's borderline precarious,
I know--I've dealt with this before,
My reputation's nefarious.
The weight of decision is heavy--
Do what one wants or what's right?
And when one could easily go either way,
The tendency is always towards flight! | Linda Coker
