April 9 Interrupted

Interrupted

Take a breath
stay the path.
We are each just a tiny speck on this planet
but everyone wants what they want when they want it.
You all come to me, I'm in the minority,
your demands will not be my first priority.
I'll be stern,
wait your turn.

Prompt: April 9 Interruption
The Tigerjade is an invented stanzaic form introduced by Jacqueline Sturge. In researching the name, I found Tiger Jade the name of a freighter in the Bengal Tiger line. The name could also refer to jewelry, a jade tiger. The elements of the Tigerjade are:

1. stanzaic, written in any number of octaves.
2. syllabic, 3-3-12-12-12-12-3-3 syllables per line.
3. rhymed, aabbccdd eeffgghh etc.

A fine example of a fascinating new to me form.

Judi, you are cracking me up! There's no way I'm waiting, I know you!!! I expect to skip the line or at least show up during special hours, just for me. 😉

I wonder how many people are now driving around with no car insurance ...

Everybody has car insurance right now. We aren’t cancelling for non pay.  Not good because i only get paid when the premium has been paid.  And no one is buying right now so no new sales to balance it.   My last commission check was 1/4 of what it was this time last year.  It covered rent and payroll. I took home nothing but work. Even people who could pay are waiting. Hoarding their money. And the ones who did pay want money refunded.  Strange times times.

I don't think that's the case around here, Judi. I'm sure cancellations are moving ahead full-throttle.

Hang in there!
