![]() A Variation Upon Bobbie Gentry's "Hurry, Tuesday Child"A Poem by W.k.kortas
Step lively, now, as good news is not of a mind
To wait upon delay and dithering Nor to pay any heed to your day's peculiar grace The ticket for your promised land Is one-way only, and you need to clutch it For all you are worth, and travel light; If it don't fit in a paper sack, you don't need to take it along, No need for any suitcase Packed with your yesterdays, your Yes, ma'am, Your No, sir, your Might I have my pay, sir? Because your satin-shoes, lose-your-blues, Done-paid your- dues day comes just once And once only, so you best move with some dispatch, child. © 2022 W.k.kortas |
