Time

Precious time,
Such a gift,
A treasure,

Dont waste it,
Borrow, return,
Or touch it,

Mantle piece,
At once Sir!
Quickly!

Time is of the essence,
So justly true,

Waste not, want not,
Sleep is filthy,

Such little time
For rant or rave,
We must potter,
About our business,

Use time wisely,
So as to enjoy it,
Use it now
And waste it not!

Hours, minutes,
The glorious units,
Seconds, days,
In them we trust!

Measure, measure,
Must not lose track of,
Time, time,
Time, time,
Time, time, time,
TIME!
