It's a Fix O'Clock Day

There is just NOT enough time Barely have the time to rhyme Alarm sounds off and starts the race Can’t keep this frenetic pace I see that it’s already nine Morning’s gone and I’m behind Maybe I can think of how I can stop this, here and now If I’m not done by six o’clock I think that I’ll just fix o’clock I’ll set back the hour hand Then not so much time has spanned I could make six turn to four Even three, should I need more There’s no end to fixing time Then I’d have the time to rhyme One thing though that may not work Thinking now and with a smirk Dinner that is served at seven Means I’m eating at eleven Guess I’d better think this through Guess that’s what I’ll have to do Guess you just can’t fix o’clock Maybe smash it with a rock?

Sure made me smile Mike, there isn't enough time in the day and I never know when rhyme time is going to strike me so I now make sure I have a notebook with me at all times:-) hugs Jan xx

Loved this one Mike, when I was at work, everything got done but since I retired there are not enough hours in the day. Rock, now that's a good idea. Tom
