Poetry: Wasted Time

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

Tick, tock, tick, tock
Do I hear his key turning the lock?
Supper's eaten, time to unwind
A busy day of wasted time

FLASH 55 - TIME

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.



Flash Fiction - Every Friday, I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you want to join in the fun and games and give it a try...post your story and report to the boss - . If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read the other entries. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.

Happy reading and writing!
Love
