Four day PIF-Quote prompt

This is a PIF for a gold I won in Roaddog Wolf's contest http://allpoetry.com/contest/2414249.

This is your quote prompt:
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." John Lennon

Any form, any style
Spellin and punct.uation count (spell-check is easy)

I like: good rhyme, good free verse, clear metaphors, thoughtful poetry. I'm not too bright, so try to write to the masses.

I'm not crazy about dirty pretty, so make it good.

I don't have the time or energy for epics.

If you submit a pre-write, please be sure it fits the prompt. No poem with more than 3 trophies please.

I will comment if I feel the urge. I don't pretend to have any profound knowledge-my comments will be why I personally like or dislike the poem. I don't usually comment until contest close.
