Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Now for Better, Now for Worse

I said let's all just party now,

Cuz now's all that we're promised, yes!

My words were lost on them somehow.

They're just party poopers I guess.

They replied back to me that I

Need prepare for the future like

Them, and be now a working guy,

Shudder the thought I be such. Yike!

"No," I said back, now's party time.

Let the future be what it is.

Then summer, but now winter, I'm

Begging them for handouts, gee whiz!

Aesop's ants refuse to help me,

An unhappy grasshopper I be.
