Munday on Monday: Too busy

When someone complains of the tasks left to do,

Decrying “a thousand” of things not yet through;

And somebody else who is busier still

Will carp that “a million” of tasks fill the bill;

Yet both are mere sluggards compared with the chap

Who’s facing “a billion” of chores to attack.

But I will exceed them — so busy am I —

“A skillion, a jillion” of things is my cry!

The folly we share: We’d have time without straining…

If only we’re doing instead of complaining.
