Time Begins To Dip Its Toe Poem by Shaun Cronick

I shouldn't watch the clock,
But one down and three to go.
I am such a anxious fool,
As time begins to dip its toe.

A welcome four day break,
Will soon be down to three.
In twenty four more hours,
It'll have the better of me.

For it'll be over halfway,
That tipping point I fear.
As time greedily devours,
The hours I hold so dear.

I should destroy that clock,
A moral victory of a kind.
To cease its incessant ticking,
A countdown most maligned.

We simply can't beat time,
For it'll catch up with you.
So I simply enjoy the moment,
And find time to make do.
