Time, Money, and Energy

"I like men who have a future,
and women who have a past."

Oscar Wilde

When I was a teen, carefree, and juvenile,
I had all the time to slack off and lie;
I had all the energy to wander and rile,
I never had the money to squander and buy.

---

When I was an adult, diligent, and renewed,
I had all the energy to thrash and feud;
I had all the money to hoard or exude,
I never had the time to relax for an interlude.

---

When I was an old woman, senile, and bedridden,
I had all the time to ploy and break even;
I had all the money to disburse and expend,
I never had the energy to go up and enliven.

---

Now that I am dead, forgotten, and hollow,
I never had the time to spare and borrow;
I never had the money to obtain and furrow,
I never had the energy to rise from below.

Thanks for passing by and Godspeed! :)
May the force be with us.
