DECONSTRUCTING
Doesn’t always pay to turn up early
Early birds are not rewarded with coins
Cons and pros don’t justify opinions
Open hearts and minds, the accepted norm
Normal services resume one Sunday
Someday soon, if you’re all up to the task
Taxed to the hilt by the Inland Revenue
Re venue; destruction undertaken
Undertaker, last rites and cremation
Creation, demolition take their toll
Toiling for a very modest income
Incomplete wage check, short a few nicker
Nicer times to come when we quit the game
Gaining when it ends… Perhaps it doesn’t...!
Cons and pros don’t justify opinions...true that...some food for thoughts in this stan

DeleteDoesn't pay to either turn up very early or very late, in my opinion. Loved the ending.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary :)
DeleteInteresting structure, the way you took a mutation of the word in the last line to the first word in the next line and still able to give a message. Well written.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimolisa :)
DeleteLife is not easy for most of us, a good capture.
