Trump comes unhinged
every twenty-four hours,
ranting and raving.

"I am the victim,"
he says, but can't you see he's
getting crazier?...

Flowers, candy, cards.
Love, lust, desire.
All of these things make up twenty-four hours.
To what avail?

Why just these things in one day?

Why not all year?...

"drinking in spiration"


twenty-four hours in a day
twenty-four bottles in a case
the chasers are Guinnesses
but the Jameson finishes
in and of this Irish race...

Twenty-four hours
goes by very quickly.
A lot to be done,a lot to be said.

We're all moving,
unearthing the world's treasures.
Everyone has a goal and a train to catch....

Net working hard,
Even to the UNO,ILO and HR organizations,
Twenty four hours a day,
All the seven days,
All holidays,
No quota of leave,
Unpaid,
Free,
A genuine social worker!...

once again
i've eaten
too much
soup

my bladder
from the last
twenty four hours
has given in to not

giving
again the
tracks are 
backing up

after all
in the States
why don't we have
bullet trains...

Sixty seconds pass...

And then sixty minutes pass...

Twenty-four hours...

It's never-ending...

Time will go on forever...

Until it all stops...

And the world is stuck...

Frozen for eternity...

It's the end, of time......

I just started it
When they said it's over
I was on my way
When it was night again

Twenty four feels like Two
You will never know why the day ended so soon
You'll be just walking for five minutes
And the sun will get replaced by the moon...

That Dog Barking at Bedtime
-----------------------------------
That dog barking at bedtime-- somewhere in the afar
(perhaps the gujjars' watchdog),
Is I swear a heavenly hour
 In my twenty-four hours life .
The night it ceases to be I fear
Life will cease....

If he could come back but for one last twenty-four hours of time
Would you plan any of it or just let it happen? Glad he has returned.
If you could put your arms around him one last day, what would you say?
Would you be grateful? Could you truly bear to start your grieving all over?...

I like em'
friendly, devious at times.
I want a
lady, nefarious and mine.

20% Angel
80% Demon

I want the
damsel, who can slay her own dragon.
Mystical, perverse when love makin',
through her eyes I see heaven,
twenty four hours, like 7-11.

The average one is restrained by mental leashes 
Bound and gagged twenty four hours a day
A common trap that remains difficult to avoid 
The free one is overwhelmed with possibilities 
Too much to do in one day 
An uncommon landscape that remains hard to locate 
Barricades mold the thought process...

It will take us
Twenty four hours
Of foreplay,
And six minutes
To make love.

This pigeon hole
Is ours my love,
Leave the world outside,
Let them knock
And disturb us not,
We have waited long enough,
Just to be together like this
Time is not on our side,
All we have is now!

Modern device
Twenty four hours available
For your use only.

Many applications
At the touch of a button
Offer various possibilities.

Distinguish one cell from another 
Making a choice difficult.

If I had only one day left with you,
I would ask that day be in God's own time,
one day, a lifetime, every moment
an expression of love,
every hour a new adventure.

twenty four hours to slowly pass
with you at my side,
a never-ending dream,
always giving thanks,
one day left with you, 

would be eternity....

Twenty four hours
Only lasts a day
It’s never really long enough
For all I’ve got to say

So many times we never speak
Or say the truth we feel
Afraid of somehow looking weak
And so are standing still

Life will pass us by
As sands of time run out
So grab each moment while you can
And see what life’s about...

Three-hundred and sixty-five days
Twenty-four hours spent
Could the days left be better used
Each designed with intent

This time in life with health going
What could be done each day?
Restore peace, life, and well-being
To the world come what may  

Some thoughts inspired by the movie "The Good Lie"...

Oh, there isn't any pity,
if you play in Sin City.
So be prepared to pay.
They have party favors,
in everyone's flavor.
Twenty-four hours a day.
Still, there isn't any pity,
if you win big in Sin City,
The tax man will take it away.
No, there aint ,No Pity
for Nuthin, in Sin City,
You know, they Own the Game....

Twenty-four hours ago, you was nothing but a kid licking the dirt off his feet.
You want to find yourself a mentor to teach you what you couldn't learn on Google.
All it takes is a quarter of a day to learn but bad luck strikes you yet again.
A thirty dollar fee has your head hanging down and now you look for help from the stars up
above....

We all have the same amount of time.
Twenty-four hours.
Sixty seconds in each minute.
Sixty minutes in each hour.
None of us has thirty seconds in a minute.
None of us has ninety seconds in an hour.
We all have the same amount of time.
So when people say “I don’t have time for that,”
I know what they mean is “I don’t want to make time for that.”...

I sent my drone out to do some spying.
She came back and reported a cow lay dying.
I looked at her tape. It was only a goat.
It was taking a nap on my best overcoat.

I sent the drone out again the next day.
She said “I’m eating breakfast. Please go away.”
Outfoxed by a drone and a goat in twenty-four hours.
I feel compromised like I’ve lost all my powers....
