Opportunity Knocked

by Johnnylove

Opportunity knocked the other night
but I was busy playing games
having fun with my friends
so I didn't answer the door
figured I had plenty of time
and if it was important
he'd come back and knock again
so I kept playing my games.
The next morning when I woke up
I realized I still had no job
no income to feed my family
no chance to improve my future
all because I didn't answer
when Opportunity knocked.
