Time Flies--So Swat 'em.



People make plans and set time tables, schedules and charts

Like a puppet I am forced to dance to the pendulum

If I misstep and stumble I have pay the piper

Come early stay late to show you care

Incentives and veiled threats

That's the carrot dangled

To make an ass of me

I go for miles

But never

Seem to

Get

Ahead

Or anywhere

Procrastination

If I don't do anything

Put my head under the covers

Time doggedly continues to  march on

I can't stop it, I can't fight it I may as well join

I'll watch the clock I'll set a timer I'll leave home early

I even wrote this poem before midnight this time I guess I win

Tender talking rhyme

Hickory dickory dock,
 I wish I could stop the clock.
The clock struck one
When I was young
Hickory dickory dock

The clock struck two
The world was new

The clock struck three
I felt so free

The clock struck four
I wanted more

the clock struck five
I was alive

The clock struck six
I chased some chicks

The clock struck seven
I thought working was heaven

The clock stuck eight
I found a mate

The clock struck nine
I made her mine

The clock struck ten
We said I do and amen

The clock struck eleven
I felt as light as leaven

The clock struck noon
I'm over the moon
I feel like June
I'm whistling a tune
She makes me swoon
Our love is as deep as a bassoon
She makes me act like a buffoon
We want children, a whole platoon
This poem will be done soon
Very little rhymes with twelve
And military time is confusing
Hickory dickory dock.
