Busy
Last night the Moon
came looking for me,
Poker, football, no time now.
This morning Life came looking for me,
The phone rang, Waterboarding, Starving children,
Handball at six, see you then, someone ought to do something.
This evening Death came looking for me,
I’m reading a good book, it’s very interesting,
I have a new girlfriend, I’m sure this one will be the one,
Can you come back later?
The Moon just laughed.
Poker, football, no time now.
