Timely Timely

Another one I wrote a few years back. Today seems like a little time warp, so I'm revisiting it.

Gee, Time Flies!

That sneaky, fooling wiggle hand

Sometimes speed demon

Sometimes snail

Can’t see it move at all.

That strict, straight marching hand

Tick tock lock step

Ever striking sharp sounds

Doesn’t sleep, doesn’t stand still.

That fuzzy floating free hand

Can’t pin it down

No digital readout

No sundial on a cloudy day.

Even really smart guys

Even super science girls

Can’t really say

Time…what is it, anyway?

Is it like a calendar?

Little blocks lined up

Keeps days organized

Monday is a school day….yes!

Is it like a star chart?

Who’s right here when?

Keeps us all on our toes

Time for lunch, time for bed!

Scary loud alarm buzz

Sweet old tick tock

Cuckoo bird from Germany

Silent sweeping watch hand,

All tell time or at least

What you need to know

When to stay and when to go

Measuring the hours.

Time in the big sky

Doesn’t jump, doesn’t jerk

Just goes round in a never ending

Never stopping circle kind of way.

Gee, time flies!
