Always stitch in time

Come rain, come shine

Be heedful of sweet time’s tell-tale sign

Lest you should, ultimately, cut it fine

From the time’s twisted twine

Always stitch in time,

Come rain, come shine

Taking notice of every momentary space

Plod along incessantly at snail’s pace

Winning life’s every contest and race

Continue to be in every once’s good grace

Always stitch in time

Come rain, come shine.

Casting off the torpor of lazinees hue

Get down to the work scheduled and due

without making any fuss as on a cue

Always stitch in time

Come rain, come shine.

Minding your P’s and Q’s

Thread time’s needle

With the punctuality’s fibre,

Sew up your career’s coat

As good as new

So that never would you rue

Always stitch in time

Come rain, come shine.

Sad monkey

There was a monkey

Who was sad

Because of his

Frightening dad.

His friends called him

By various names

And didn’t allow him,

To play any of the game.

He was ugly,

Without a hair

And nobody,

Took his care

Except his mother,

Who had love

For the monkey,

And her son.
