A Modern Day Gatsby
Larry Wells Jr 2003 (Nevada)
Deep breathing, late night
Darkness has set, no time left
Do it quick, faster
Doubt sets in, can I
Fix what is wrong, but before
The clock has run out
The dishes can wait
Eyes on the prize, begging god
Please make it in time
The Daisy to my
Jay Gatsby, I did you wrong
If I could fix it
But no I cannot
Instead I sit here at my
Desk, wasting our time
