Time is a carrot

Tomorrow should be getting closer.

But is it? I must answer no, sir.

Whatever speed we walk or run

We’re no closer than when we’d first begun.

Like the carrot dangled in front of the ***

(I apologize if this sounds crass -

I refer to the animal here of course

A second cousin to the horse)

We chase the carrot till our days are through,

And then we die. I am afraid it’s true -

Without getting the carrot, ain’t that a *****

We might die poor or we might die rich,

But our tomorrow’s the same no matter what we do,

So I offer up this thought to you–

Let’s stop and share glass of Claret

And let other ***** chase the carrot.
