Timeout, Take A Break To Live Poem by Hebert Logerie

Live, take a break to live
Live, live, retire to live
Retire not to leave
Too, too soon, live
Leave the job to live
Take a break to come out alive
Live, leave with all five
I mean all ten in good order
All ten toes and fingers
Not in strange disorders
Enjoy your well deserved labor
Leave not on a stretcher
Leave like a bright master
Timeout, take a break
Use your time well for God's sake
Leave, quit, and retire to live
Not to die and not to grieve.
