Sped Up Or Slowed

2/8/17


Straight, curvy and bumpy roads
Some with cones
All across the globe
Tools made of stones and from bones

Got to stay in the zone
Wherever I may roam and rove

Certain boards bowed
And automobiles had to be towed

Money being owed
And loaned

Waters with or without foam
And lawns that do or don't have gnomes
Regardless of if the grass was or wasn't mowed

Above and below
Where waters flow

By way of the crow
Or as it was written in an ancient tome

In areas with buffalo

Troves hidden in coves
And groves
And other places unknown

Every since way long ago
Time has shown


Tasks done alone
And on one's own

Experiments involving clones
And surveillance done with drones

Faraway and nearby home
And any other abode

Hung up the phone
If it wasn't about money, then quickly came the dialtone

Due to the weather events getting postponed

Skills and wisdom are important to hone
Whether you're full of estrogen or testosterone

Coagulated blood was found on a robe
While it snowed
The full moon glowed

Near the motherlode
Located at a node

Time seemingly sped up or slowed
Objects getting thrown away and sewed

Meanwhile the population continued to explode
In and out of areas that did or didn't errode

Old and new episodes
Information and emergency calls being radioed

Items made with many materials, sometimes chrome
Or silicone
Stadiums with or without a dome
Capable of being able to fully close

Within and beyond areas that have or haven't been combed

Better stay on your toes
Continuing to row
As the wind does or doesn't blow
Effects ripple and domino
Despite if you have or haven't chose
Because that's how life goes
Stay sharp and composed
