Wearing a wristwatch the horse took a dive
The Timex kept on ticking
It took a licking but it would survive
The horse though felt like kicking
I felt sorry for that horse having to
Dive to the sea from the pier
Not the best equestrian thing to do
I never wear a wristwatch anymore
Knowing what time it is more than before
With John Cameron Swayze telling us
To buy that Timex he was selling us
The hands of the wristwatch made their demands
With hurry and worry compelling us
Having survived until now still alive
Out of the struggle I no longer strive
With time to be timelessly
Happily for me it happens for free
Not having time on my hands
I let go and bet a horse understands
Of course that horse would agree
Timelessness is timely now
About out of time for me anyhow

My father once showed me his drawer full of broken Timex watches. He told me that he liked them for his profession of loading and unloading trucks because they were cheap at $10 apiece and tough.
Certainly a timely piece for your life as it winds down into timelessness.
