Who's got time
to stand here
Like this?
For five dollar;
easy money,
Waste of time.
Got a garden to tend,
dough to knead,
Veggies to chop.
Washin' to scrub,
hang out to dry.
Ironin' piled high.
Waste my time.
ain't you got no work?
Have a glass of cool well water?

who has time indeed? glad you had the time to write this -
You certainly have a way with words ~ great style too.
That's exactly what it looks like she's thinking.
The thoughts of a somewhat 'sensible' woman who has no time for what she deems to be frivolity. A wonderful write on 'impatience'.
Yes, I think these thoughts were rolling around in her head. Excellent, Rel.
She does look rather bored with it all! Excellent observation.

One of my favorite takes on this prompt - perfect, wish I'd written this (said in a non-jealous, amiable way).
Nice piece....although I've just been reminded that I've a huge ironing to do tomorrow....lol
A surprising take on the prompt and yet when I look more closely at her face, I see your words. Perfect!
Fantastic work full of creativity. Congratulations. Continue your path!
