Time Erasers

I have a friend so dear
though clever she's not clear
to life and these things
her phone constantly rings

but to answer it is she don't
when to be somewhere she won't
if so she's surely late
even for a date

she has no sense of time
that doesn't seem to chime
I always behold the watch
I'm dependable don't botch

I ask myself this though
is time just a show
so we will be swift chasers
one day we'll be time erasers

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/10/2020 1:19:00 AM "she has no sense of time that doesn't seem to chime" this describes my identical twin perfectly. Mom says she always "wants to make an entrance". I, on the other hand, am usually an hour early everywhere I go. Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/10/2020 10:11:00 AM We have a lot in common ;)

John Watt Date: 10/8/2020 9:45:00 AM Time does make us 'swift chasers' and adds a measure of stress to our lives. But it can be frustrating dealing with people who are always late to appointments or meetings especially when your own time is wasted.
