Time Enough

Time enough fur worry when the time for worry comes,

Time enough fur grievin’ when they beat the muffled drums;

Time enough fur talkin’ when the other chap is through,

Time enough fur strikin’ when he starts a-strikin’ you.

Time enough fur quittin’ when your work is really done,

Time enough fur sorer when you’ve had a lot o’ fun;

Time enough fur sleepin’ when you kennot keep awake

Time enough fur givin’ when you don’t expect to take.
