Time Share

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



By Your stripes we have been healed
And with Your Spirit we are sealed
Now send us out into Your field
So, all Your love can be revealed
To show a world that loves to doubt
That there is still a good way out
And not by works to fill the need
Of dullards who delight in greed

Therefore, a divisive man shall never eat
From any tree that’s good and sweet
But only from the one called knowledge
That they had learned from while in college

A time share can be good or bad
Depending on whose time you’ve shared
If you sell all your time for cash
Then all that you’ll receive is trash

Don’t do it!
