I tripped over the year of the roster.

I tripped over the year of the roster.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

"Not a minute to lose." said the hour, clock watching.
" Wait a second!"

What did week think?
"Week doesn't like mondays!"

" What year is it?" Day asked.

"Probably a calendar!" replied the year.

"But, if you're not sure, go ask monthly."
"There's twelve of them!"

" What happened to the weekend?"
" Don't know better ask seven days."

" But five are working!"
"Yeah the weekend is missing!"

" They just fly by like the seasons!"

" What seasons!"

" Go check the roster."

what a swirling mess of the system you have made ..is this a new rebellious movement?? i'm in! i didn't know about the roster ...that would be the place to attack ... we can get them all in one fell swoop!

Harpo would be busy tooting the horn half buried in the front of his pants and smiling that big smile while Chico and Groucho worked this head-spinningly clever routine my man.

Their routines were flawless too. Lives spent on Vaudeville. No one can touch them.
Aha....so that is where all my hidden hours are going to :) Great writing my friend.....

This could have been a dialogue between Alice and The Mad Hatter....:)
