GET AROUND TO IT!

BY: BARNEY SHEPHERD

SOME PEOPLE NEVER GET AROUND TO IT.
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY CAN’T.
SOME OF THEM LIE LIKE THE DEVIL
AND SAY THAT THEY HAVE, WHEN THEY AIN’T!
SOME PEOPLE TRY TO GET AROUND TO IT.
SOME OTHERS DON’T EVER TRY.
THEY SAY FATHER TIME IS AGAINST THEM.
AND SOME OF THEM SIT DOWN AND CRY.

NOW, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET AROUND TO IT
AND ZIP ON THROUGH LIFE LIKE A WHIZ.
QUIT BLAMING THE CLOCK FOR YOUR FAILURES,
FOR YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME THAT THERE IS!
IT’S EASY TO GET AROUND TO IT
AND GRAB THAT BIG PIE IN THE SKY.
THEN WHEN SOMEONE COMES RIGHT OUT AND ASKS YOU
YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL THEM A LIE.

MY WIFE, THE DEAR GAL, HAS THE ANSWER
AND SHE’S HAVING A WONDERFUL BALL.
WHEN ASKED IF SHE’S GOT AROUND TO IT,
SHE POINTS UP TO HER KITCHEN WALL.
RIGHT THERE, IN A SQUARE FRAME OF COLOR
IN A CIRCLE OF YARN THAT SHE KNIT.
THE THREE LITTLE WORDS IN THE CENTER
