No Time

No time to be timid,
no time to be weak.
When you're trying to get a shot...
of a rooster's beak.

No time to think about prose,
no time to think of a poem.
When you're trying to get a shot...
of a rooster's comb.

No time to get all a-flutter,
no time to get out-of-joint.
When you're trying to get a shot...
of a rooster's points.

No time to think like Einstein,
or even Aristotle.
When you're trying to get a shot...
of a rooster's wattle.
