Alphabet Of Time



A is ages which go on so long
B is for Bible which gets time all wrong

C is circadian that happens each day
D is diurnal - that's twice the same way

E is for eons stretching back into the past
F is for future which comes up so fast

G is for geology that freezes time in a rock
H is for hours and hands on the clock

I is for instant you have in a cup
J is for Jurassic whose bones are dug up

K is for killing time when we have too much free
L is for longueur and depressing ennui

M is for Meetings - how they stretch so
N is for Now. (But on we must go)

O is for older - how we all get
P is a pause that lets us reflect

Q is for how quickly our life runs its course
R is for regrets and sometimes remorse

S is the second time we call 'Deja vu'
T is those things I promised to do

U is unknowns the future will bring
V is vacation we take in the spring

W is waiting for trains that never go
X is express which is often so slow

Y is for year as we measure a date
Z is for Zzzzz as it's now very late.
