Ticked Tocked Off

I’m sitting here thinking “Crivens! It’s November!” I was snowboarding in March only a couple of days ago….

Ticked Tocked Off belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical

Thief! Thief! Stop the thief!
Don’t let him get away!
He has taken half a month from me
And now another day.

I turned for but a moment
And in a flash I felt it go.
By twisted time and jinxing rhyme
I missed another go!

But what to do when I am left without my time to think?
I tarry long and wonder why I asked for one more drink.

FLASH! He took another month!
My hair is turning grey.
My list of jobs is just as long
And fear won’t go away.

I fear my time a running out
And with it, gone am I.
Will I make it to my dreams
While I’m too afraid to try?
