Can I Have a Word?

Can I have a word?
Not of course right now
But on Monday morning
That way you will think
About what? Why? and how?
All weekend to worry
All weekend to suffer.

Written down is even better
A summons; a sealed letter.
You try to speak that
Friday afternoon but no
No chance of a hearing
You too will wait and yet
It’s two days to worry and fret.
