The Task At Hand - [a pantoum]


THE TASK AT HAND

By Debi Kimmel

10/04/13

 

Time is of the essence –

One should always have a spare.

So when I cannot find one,

I can’t complete the task at hand.

 

One should always have a spare.

Parts can be lost or broken –

I can’t complete the task at hand.

Please go buy some extras now.

 

Parts can be lost or broken –

Or the batteries may need replaced.

Please go buy some extras now.

Time is of the essence.
