Time Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

He was a religious leader of Muslims,
He was MPCC chief, a political party boss,
He was Minister for Revenue and for Law,
And he had written a serious book.

After the book-launch function, as usual
There was a meet with the Mumbai Press,
And in the question-answer session;
One scribe asked, “How do you get time? ”

His reply sank deep in my heart.
I have repeated it to many,
And don’t mind repeating it to many more,
To drive home importance of prioritizing things.

Said he, “ The world’s busiest man finds
Time to brush his teeth.”
