Time

There once was a donkey

Who would not stop working

He was a loner unlike Porky

The one pig who loved shirking

 

The donkey was saving fun for retirement

While Porky was spending it all

Stress in the donkey's life seemed to be a requirement

Porky's life was shallow although it seemed tall

 

Dangerous lives but they kept at it

What happened to them you may ask

Porky's liver shriveled and quit

The donkey's zero friends missed his masque

 

This all could have been avoided

By listening to the doctor's life analysis

The donkey needed to enjoy it

Porky had to enjoy it a bit less

 

Do not save time

Just to restrain it

Do not waste time

Just to destroy it

 

-Luis
