Apparently I Wrote This Poem

I have no reccollection of writing this. But I kinda like it. So.

What will you save when the house begins to burn?
Is it the clock on the wall?
tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick
Work, Chore, Job, Give, Serve, Slave, Labor.

What will you take while the blaze starts to grow?
Is it the toys in the box?
zip, zoom, zip, zoom, zip, zoom, zip
Play, Run Fly, Hide, Dance, Laugh, Excite.

What will you need once the flames commence their climb?
Is it the wealth in the safe?
swish, clank, swish, clank, swish, clank, swish
Buy, Spend, Pay, Sell, Own, Keep, Covet.

What will you save when your house begins to burn?
Is it the old quilt lying on your bed?
breathe, sigh, breathe, sigh, breathe, sigh, breathe
Rest, Warmth, Sleep, Peace, Safe, Love, Home.

tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick...
and the fire rages.


Okay kinda morbid. So... have a happy day anyway! :)
