[dottie]

I haven't got time for the good things in life
A game with the kids or a kiss for the wife
I must read the paper or finish this letter
I've no time for a word that'll make things better
Don't disturb me now while I'm watching the news
A political hiccup counts more than your views
I haven't got time to tell you I care
I must get ready and tidy my hair
I was far to busy to notice you cry
And I was far to busy when you said goodbye

Francis J Wild
