Yeah, I've Got The Time

Poem Artwork

Sometimes, when I am asked
for the time, I can't resist saying;

Yeah, I've got the Time

I've got a minute to spare
and time to call my own.
When I take my own sweet time,
it takes forever in a day.
But I've got break time, straight time
and overtime,
for which I get time and a half.
I'll wait for a little time
but not forever.
I've got time on my hands,
time to spare, a short time
and two shakes of a lamb's tail.
I've got til hell freezes over,
until the cow come home, the last dog dies,
until your blue in the face
and until the end of time.

You want the time?

I can be ahead of time,
behind time,
and work against time.
I can be late
and foolishly waste my time.

Every time I turn around
someone gives me a hard time.
In good times,
I have a high old time,
a big time
and the time of my life.
I keep time and mark time
whenever the time is ripe.

I have good timing and bad.
I can do two things at a time,
at double time,
but I'm not a two-timer.

Time can fly, crawl, lag and drag
or just standstill.
It can march on, run on
or just run out.

I can call a time in,
or a time out.
I can buy time, burn time
and hold on for a little while.

I look for time,
make time, occupy time
and pass time.
I can take time off,
serve time and pause for time.

I can take a break for five or ten.
I have good moments and bad,
mornings, noons and nights,
AM and PM,
seasons and semesters

I've got for a whiles,
cycles and breaks,
short terms and long,
olden days and golden days,
all my born days,
a coon's age
and a month of Sundays.

Time is costly
and you must spend it wisely.
You can be here for a little bit,
at whatever time,
at the same time,
for a moment or a while,
and for the time being.

You can turn an everlasting moment
into no time at all,
in an instant
and the wink of an eye.

Time heals, goes on by
and sometimes it just stands still,
but time waits on no man.

Always remember.....
take a little time for yourself.

Yeah! I've got the Time

Wow, Rusty-friend, I know this is supposed to be funny and it is ... but it's impressive as well. You've done your research! If you read it fast, it reminds me a little of George Carlin as he goes through his 'dirty word' list! Extremely well done.
Love,
CJ
