Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Our Biological Clock

We are all creatures of time: tick-tock, tick-tock
   A finely tuned machine is our biological clock

Set into motion by the hand of God 
   It eases us gently into the Land of Nod

Lets us know when we awaken too soon
   Curls up with us at night in winter's cocoon

And yet, it seems to me it's not been perfected
   As these two glitches I long ago detected

Days are long, while years speed by
   And how afternoons at work do slow down, Oh my!

Gershon Wolf October 16, 2018 at 9:40 PM You are spoiling me with all of your praise and encouragement, M.L. … That said, keep spoiling me. All the best, Gershon
