tick, tock, tick, tock
how do I make the ticking stop
there aren't enough hours in the day
most of them spent dreaming away
tick, tock, tick, tock
back to the chores, where's my mop
hands move slowly, a waiting game
days passing, remaining the same
Will I fulfill my dreams before the ticking stops?
Bugga, bugga, bugga! I had quite a good rhythm going there. I reached my 55 word allocation too soon and now I have run out of time and have to shoot off. Quite funny actually considering my topic today.
Is that how tick tock is spelt or is it tic tock...oh wait, that's tic tac. I'm so blonde today. Must need more coffee.

ReplyDeleteI knew you could do this Kiwi!!
ReplyDeleteAlways a great job!!
I love rhyming 55's...
Thanks for playing, and have a Great Week-End...G
Can I ever relate to this one. Seems like I just get started and the day's half gone. And I look at the net effect and it's always disappointing.
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least I get to read some great 55's along the way.
Hi KB how are you doing girl. I loved your 55 Suddenly hear the clock ticking now. I am dreaming much of it away as well, not mopping though.
ReplyDeleteLoved to see your pictures from the past too
Sleep tight G.
ReplyDeleteMojo - Nice way of looking at it.
Marja - I missed you, welcome back!

ReplyDelete& we keep postponing fulfilling our dreams...
Great 55ve KB! mine's up too!
Indeed! On my way.
ReplyDelete"Tick tock" is correct. Great job, KB... you can feel the unending demands and the drudgery.
ReplyDeleteI'm up, too.

Drudgery was exactly what I was aiming to create. On my way!
ReplyDeletei have a feeling here that you found it difficult to find something to write about but as usual you came through with flying colours.
ReplyDeleteand that is the beauty of you.
Bugga, he's onta me.
ReplyDeleteThanks hun x
Brilliant 55! I think we can all relate to this.
ReplyDeleteThanks MissGurl. I'm on my way to visit ya.
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time looking at those pics posted below. My daughter has just scanned many old pics and, to my delight, has put them on facebook. Oh what some memories!
ReplyDeleteouch, you've hit a nerve. never enough time for the dreams.
ReplyDeleteyou really use the rhythm well maybe you could use your 55 as the base for a longer piece
and now, on behalf of you, introducing.............Flash 555 hehe
Missy - I saw you on earlier but I was half way through an episode of Angel and practically licking the TV. Beep me next time x
ReplyDeleteMonique - Happy you enjoyed the pics. When will you be sharing yours?
Toadee - You know me too well. I struggle sometimes keeping to 55 and at other times it's a piece of cake. If anyone can do flash 555...it's me :)
Oh, the clock has been ticking today. I felt just like that!
ReplyDeleteI'm up, too!
