"Tick, tock,"*
Says the Clock
No!
Not another day gone
Just like that?
Days go by like dust in the wind
Slipping through our fingers before they can even begin
Days quickly turn into weeks
And weeks into months
Until another year has gone by
In just the blink of an eye
So it seems
The constant tick of the clock's tireless hand
Has us constantly saying goodbye
To life
One measly day at a time

With that I bid adieu
To this past year, too
And welcome yet another one to come
*Let's see how quickly this one cares to run
