Times Of Your Life

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Stop and wait at lights.
Go and pay a fine.
Rush and shop at malls
Take your place in line.
The times of your life with these chores are rife.
Plot and sketch your scheme.
Hit and score a run.
Drive and putt your course.
Work to have your fun.
The times of your life with these chores are rife.
Dial and lose the ring.
Start and smash your car.
Trip and crack your bone.
Drop your falling star.
The times of your life with these chores are rife.
Brush and floss your teeth.
Bathe and oil your skin.
Clean and press your clothes.
Dust your house again.
The times of your life with these chores are rife.
