The Account

The Account

I’ve been spending and spending not thinking about
What is in the account and how it comes out
This morning I’ve spent it on nothing at all
So I guess I should give it some thought after all


There are days when I think I have spent it so well
And I smile when I think of the stories to tell
There are days when I don’t think I’ve spent it at all
But it still slips away like a big rolling ball


The account is uncertain it does not refill
In fact there is only so much you can bill
And as it is spent there's no entry about
How much is left in - only how much came out


So as I sit here thinking and not doing much
I think of expenditure, debits and such
Direct debits daily I’ve paid and I treasure
And always hope some will be left for my leisure


So now the account is not quite what it was
I need to take stock of the figures because
The clock has been ticking - I’m well past my prime
I must make the best of how I spend my time
