Procrastination:Thief of time for Bro SAL

Sonnet

 

Procrastination.The thief of time

 

The clock ticks inexorably

Each second moves the minute

 hand forward infinitesimally.

Or so I’m led to understand.

But I afraid I cant agree.

Sometimes if I should look away

The hands move forward rapidly

Much quicker than the normal way.

What happens to the time that’s passed?

 I can’t retrieve in any way.

The present has become the past.

I’ve lost a portion of my day.

I wonder if you’ve noticed too

The sneaky tricks which clocks can do.

Indeed I have noticed, sir, even at my age. Quite the universal message, but told under pleasant tones. Well-structured and interesting. Nice work!
