I WENT TO BUYA NEW TIME PIECE

 

I went to a posh jeweler to buy a new time piece,

And I told the geezer I wanted it really top notch

In response the man in the shop said “Analogue?”

And I replied “No, I just want to buy a watch"

IF YOU MEASURED MY LIFE

 

If you measured my life

In dog years instead

Then the inevitable truth

Is I’m already dead

I ATE MY MUM’S CLOCK

 

I ate my mum’s clock yesterday,

When she finds out shell be fuming,

However it was a day well spent

Eating clocks is very time consuming

A FAMILIAR TIMEPIECE

 

There is a welcoming comfort

To be felt upon entering the house

And being instantly greeted

By the reassuring sound

Of a familiar timepiece

I always feel instantly at peace

Because a ticking clock

Is the heartbeat of the home

WHY DID THE BROKEN CLOCK

 

Why did the broken clock

Cross the road without pause to stop?

Well it’s a no brainer really

It was to get to the second hand shop

SUNDIAL

 

The sun burned bright

Its rays struck the sundial

And cast a shadow

Shown in sharp relief

From the gnomon

Upon the brass dial

And as the straight edge

Reaches three o’clock

It’s time to go

HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU HEARD IT SAID?

 

How often have you heard it said?

“I am taking it one day at a time”

Well, no shit Sherlock don’t we all

That is after all the nature of time

THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING

 

I am not opposed to the clocks

Going forward in the spring

But it could be handled better

To make it less exhausting

Take the hour from Friday afternoon

Instead of Sunday morning

SNACK TIME

 

When he’s making clocks

And hunger beacons

The clock man will

Go back four seconds.

TIME THE FICKLE FRIEND

 

Time the fickle friend,

though you never wind the spring

the celestial clock ticks on

IT WAS 1066

 

It was 1066

And that taught me a lesson

Never buy a wristwatch

From any random person

NATURE’S WAY

 

Time is merely natures way

Of assurance

And stops everything happening

At once

I ATE MY MUM’S CLOCK

 

I ate my mum’s clock yesterday,

When she finds out she'll be fuming,

However, it was a day well spent

Eating clocks is very time consuming

WATCH THE TIME

A man with one good watch

Always knows the time of day

But a man with two watches

Is never sure what time to say 

INFINITE TIME

 

Time itself is infinite

So infinite as to be immeasurable

By time itself

Our own time, upon our earth

A lifetime is so short

A life’s time passes in an instant

So quickly

It would fail to register

As the merest twitch

Of the sweep hand

On the mighty time piece

The great universal clock
