Schedule packed with activities

The given words:
stone  casual  spare  revolving  beggar
block traffic key fever chapped  souvenir

Not etched in stone but still it 
was not just a casual encounter
He spared no efforts  to determine
that his presence revolving around a
schedule packed with activities
was well taken care of

Being a beggar to uphold strict principles
he blocked off certain unnecessary
encroachments of heavy traffic
bidding for his time

Discipline was maintained by Girl Friday
key to his time management

A fever pitched day was broken up
into little sectors to impose and
maintain sanity
Too much talking could result in
chapped lips as a souvenir

For Mindlovemisery's Menagerie Wordle #38 and
Magaly's hosting at Real Toad's  Open Link Monday

    1. Fatal mistake if it's in a scientific paper unless discussions revolve around the subject matter!

  7. I thought of chapped lips gotten from gossip...
    Not something your gent would put up with -
    His Gal Friday must be compensated well for keeping up with his demands. :)

    My combo piece 'Bubbles' was based on reality. Maybe that's why it seems to be striking a deep cord. Reality oft makes for great fiction. As long as the true identities are kept secret.

    1. It did Jules! Often times we are told that writers draw back on their experiences. That certainly makes their writings very realistic. Thanks!
