Listen to poem:
For the time when half the day has gone, The catchword through admission, it is lost, Lest a change of a word that can be, crossed, As 'pass-ed' is the best choice, somewhat, is drawn. One interprets a wasted period, As the other substantiates the point, Pivots on any given word, viewpoint, One equivalent to a myriad. Just a wrong word, to point, could start a war, As the right word will start the peace process, If no word is ventured, then none I guess, Then nothing worthwhile would come to the floor. When you move counter, left or right, there's talk, When both moves centered, then it'll be head-on, So best choice, "the day passed, then, "the day gone", Meaningful day, in matters of the clock.
