What is it that I await Flipping hoops and scooting clockwise In wishes. Dreaming of the day I can hang in mid air pulling Big Ben's hands behind his head Taking him hostage. Thinking no one would pay the ransome I'd be quite hand..some In my attempts, but then I'm not God. I'm just me So I trot the fox, and skin the wafer, making everything Look possible. Anything Can be done in the Nick of Time Except thinking. Unless your mind is clockwork precision So I'm always late Okay! If I had a little more Time I could come up with an excuse Excuse me while I bake Alaska It will be ready their time This time, some time today. |

Humorous write, and yes, time sure does run away when we turn our back. I am one who would do anything to hold onto those hands and turn them backwards-for so many reasons. Nice poem, as always Sandra |

Beautiful poem rwood, and in a way it is sad that we can't turn back time but father time moves ever forward, some say to fast some say to slow but backwards it can never go. Throw your heart out in front of you |

You know that I'd take the bait with a title and topic such as this, right? Hello again, Regina -- happy to make a quick visit and find another strong poem from you. If only there were more time to go around, I could write even more, but suffice to say, you had some moments in here which triggered a couple of contemplations -- something I always enjoy! -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Enjoyed the read! You are right of course, no ransom. And certainly Nick is no good for writing, either. Always been fascinated by this puzzle. Thanks. |

RWood~ Big smiles with the imagery here~ 'Dreaming of the day I can hang in mid air pulling Big Ben's hands behind his head Taking him hostage. Thinking no one would pay the ransome I'd be quite hand..some In my attempts' Delightful !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
