Dear clock,
Why must you be so deceiving?
I am certain that you lie.
When I'm enjoying myself, you pass quickly.
When I'm tired and bored, you take so long between ticks.
Or maybe you are trying to tell me something.
Maybe you are showing me just how precious time is.
Should I cherish the good times longer? Yes.
Should I make the best of what I'm given? Yes.
You have mysterious ways of working dear clock,
I am grateful.
