Good Point, Vol. 2

Poetry by Oliver Cassidy
Author of Good Point, Vol. 1



When you're running late
Don't bother to make it on time.
Why bother to make it on time?
It's much, much better to be very, very late.
Ridiculously late.
Like hours and hours late.

Have a leisurely breakfast.
Read a book.
See a movie.
Go shopping.
Make your time your own.



But the excuse...
Hmmm.
That's the only headache.
The friggin' excuse.
What do you say to everyone?
Why were you hours and hours late?
Where were you?
Why didn't you call?
How could you be so irresponsible?

Ug. The excuse.



Master the excuse and you've mastered life.
