Notes About The Poem

Bite Size Contest No. 138 Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Line Gauthier. Date written: 03/07/2026

Get Crackalackin'


      One expects time to crawl like a turtle, 
  But it runs. Oh, it runs like a Cheetah, baby!
    It's tough to tell who is the bigger enemy 
    Between him and her---> procrastination.
In pursuit of a place in the sun, one must run 
 To keep up with him. And yes, do avoid her!
