What is this life if, freed from care, We have no time - except to stare. No time to savour food and drink, Or read, or write, or sit and think. No time to paint, or play the flute, Or dig, or yarn, or bottle fruit. No time for politics, or pubs, Discussion groups, or drama clubs. No time for charity, or church, Or local history research. No time to give the dog a walk, Or play or parlour game, or talk... A poor life this, if we can spare No time - except to sit and stare. |
