YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW
Yesterday, today was tomorrow
and as tomorrow becomes today,
so today becomes history tomorrow.
Since each today brings a new tomorrow
which becomes history when it’s yesterday.
it follows that today will be yesterday
when tomorrow’s today.

Erm yes, correct! It's started me off on the 1965 song 'Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away'. A duet with Miss Berles.
At least I've sorted out the Intangi Berles
I was gonna say 'It's just a load of 'berles' to me', but Fido would bark at me!
Dangli Berles?
A bit swoony! lol. I feel sorry for some Berles, lumbered with names like Intangli and Dangli. A footballer on telly was Angel Da Maria - Angel Of Mary!
Hello Michael,
An excellent poem and reflection on life.
Life moves quickly and yes today will become history and the past tomorrow.
Keep writing Fine B
It took a lot of research - just hope I've got it all correct.
Love the elephant.
"Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday"
"Yesterday is history"
Thanks Andy - looking at the elephant I might be able to reduce the linework a bit to make it more minimalist - might try it sometime.
Wow - and so true this slant-eyed look at the passing of time -- great stuff Michael.
It's quite fascinating studying time - I knew I would post it soon when I did it then and I've done it now. Thanks Fay
That was the week that was
Tempus Fugit as they say

Thank you Angela. A brief History of Time is a bit heavy going - thankfully it's only brief. lol
Time wait for none..but times ongoing spirit doesnot annihilate the flux of spontaneous overflow..!!Great ...little gem..only you can do it!
Thank you so much - a bit of fun.
I really enjoyed this! Makes me remember how quickly time flies. I also enjoyed the line
'Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday' like others.
Gave me food for thought
Thanks!
My pleasure - pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.
I was gonna say you were two tense, but that would have been an understatement.. you are at the very least three... made me dizzy ya did... nicely so tho.... N
I may be two tense
but did it make sense?
Actually getting the words in the right order was more taxing than I thought it would be.
not one for sitting on the fence
yes sir, it made bloomin sense...
am not surprised neither
he told ya it made him dizzy... N
Lovely pic of the ex mum-in-law today Michael.
Tomorrows yesterday once spent will be something to put behind me without looking back... i'm quite looking forward to it.
