Pamela Griffiths Poet Rhyme

Marking Up Time

WHAT IS THE TIME? I AM LATE I THINK

MAYBE I WILL HAVE TIME FOR A DRINK

NOTHING TO RUSH FOR NOT TODAY

TODAY IS THE DAY I AM GOING AWAY

WHERE AM I GOING? WELL I DON’T REALLY KNOW

I AM SURE I WILL REMEMBER BEFORE I GO

I HAVE PACKED MY CASE AND HAVE MY CAR

I WILL BE DRIVING AWAY SOON QUITE FAR

I AM MARKING UP TIME SO I MUST GET ON

I WILL BE BACK BEFORE I KNOW I HAVE GONE

DREAMING OF THE SEA SO BLUE AND GREY

ITS NEARLY TIME FOR ME TO GO AWAY

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING ON MY JOURNEY SOON

BUT I WAS WRONG IT’S IN AUGUST NOT JUNE

SORRY TO SAY THAT IT ISN’T JUST NOW

I HAVE MY DATES ALL MIXED UP SOMEHOW

SO I AM MARKING UP TIME UNTIL THAT DATE

BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT

MARKING UP TIME I AM LOSING THE PLOT

OH WHAT A MEMORY I HAVE GOT

Canny Amah October 20, 2009 at 11:01 PM Pam, seems everyone’s in the journey … this voyage of life!!! Some late & sad, some early & sweet or sad … no one has a certainty what to expect, what to gain or mislay … let’s hope for a good journey, tho’ … good write! Keep fit. Your beloved Canny.
