Yesterday's Problem

©2014, Olan L. Smith

Yesterday came to Today's door to kick him in the arse

Sensing danger Tomorrow grabs Yesterday and begins choking him.

Today, awakened by the ruckus, arises to witness the hubbub,

Today's mate, Now, joins him and together they separate the fighters.

Today said, "You two stop it.  This is my house and I will not allow you

To destroy it."  Standing proudly alongside Today, Now adds,

"This is my home forever, tomorrow today will be yesterday, but I am always."
