Time For Footles

Time passes much too quickly


HURRY UP AND GET DRESSED:
just wait
too late


I CAN'T SLEEP:
my clock
tick tock


I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING:
waste time
a crime


I'M SO BEAUTIFUL:
won't last
age fast


WE'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER:
goodbyes
love dies

Congratulations on your high place win, Lin! These were, dare I say, "timeless". I loved how each of your titles were "expectations", while the rhymes were the let downs, when faced with reality.
