Deadlines
There's a deadline for the headline,
the bottom line of stress.
There's a deadline for the design in making the press.
There's a deadline for the airline,
the bottom line of flight.
There's a deadline for the incline in gaining the height.
There's a deadline for the timeline,
the bottom line of shift.
There's a deadline for the propine in granting the gift.
There's a deadline for the tagline,
the bottom line of saw.
There's a deadline for the call-sign in sticking the craw.
There's a deadline for the hard-line,
the bottom line of talk.
There's a deadline for the grapevine in doing the stalk.
There's a deadline for the dateline,
the bottom line of place.
There's a deadline for the langsyne in loving the race.
