Come to my house for a holiday treat.
I am punctual, so please take your seat -
by five o'clock sharp.
Don't complain or carp,
or you just will not be able to eat.

more dashes

a semicolon

not in
any sense
of the word
a medical

B punctual never b late
Don't b scared of time it's ur best mate
Put ur watch in ur heart
Love it like ur favourite pie tart
Learn to save time
A stitch on time always saves nine
In the same way saving time
May save u a dime
Always keep track of ur time and
And it will always give u a helping hand
Don't hurry b well orgamised and steady
Always b ready
Because time will never fail to surprise u
Very punctual rain,
All mornings,on time,
Signs rain!
"Time marches on", consistent punctual
Bodies' cells repair keeping up for while
Then like morn's sky changes slower renewal
Body ages no longer agile
Acceptance of life's blows or Adam's sin
Makes getting older easier knowing
There is a better place than this has been
Where no more physical decline showing
"Time marches on", consistent punctual
I'll live each day doing best_most I can
With riches laid up gaining accrual
While I wear the soft shoes, sit on divan
