5 'Ti-me-ricks'!

 

All Time, ever ticking tick-tock,

Is measured by something called clock ,

   It is always to chase

   You through time and through space –

But for Nature herself it’s a shock…

*

A horsefriend from Leicester, called Dave,

Was quite brave–more a knight than a knave,

   Who has pondered, aged fifty:

    “Am I shifty or nifty...? –

Or just mad!”- and he gave up the rave!

*

What new goal in my life should I climb?

Is it trivial or truly sublime?

   Tooth of Time… are you gainful?

   Are you rather quite painful?

It is all in a prime timely rhyme!

*

A man from an alien-like world,

He had reached Mother Earth highly swirled –

   Our doom came at noon,

   For he had very soon

His outlandish great talents unfurled…!

*

Hey, time-out! It's a time for renewal,

For life with no time is quite cruel –

   Let the pacemakers rest,

   But the peacemakers blessed,

Only timeless time - that's a true jewel!
