Bobby May Poet Rhyme

If I Could Turn Back Time Contest

A Clock I built for my Daughter In Law


These old hands of time are running slow
Ben Gay has become my best friend
Now oil is dripping from my main spring
My cabinet is tarnished when I look in the mirror 

I use face cream as polish
My pendulum now swinging slower
If I could only turn back the time
It would be the first time you wound me up

My gears were smooth with plenty of oil and my spring was strong
Our chimes would always strike at the same time
My cabinet was smooth and my face would shine
Oh how I wish I could turn back theses hands of time

And not have worked so much over time

Contest: If only we could turn back the hands of Time

David Mchattie October 12, 2019 at 5:06 PM I think life is a journey and I would not want to go back and travel the same road again. So 'Time'.... do your worst. I will not be distracted from my journey. Have a great day. Bobby May October 12, 2019 at 5:30 PM This is poetry, poetry does not always pertain to real life and this is just for a contest, I also am steady on my own journey of life thank you for your comment David!
