Tick or tock?
Which do you prefer of a clock?
And how do we know the difference? (Eh?)
With several poems about clocks, time, etc
I will tell ya how I spent that extra second we had one year
Remember I travel at the speed of light (lol)
In that second I:
Sailed round the world 5,483 times
Travelled to the moon and back 4,885 times
Went shopping for enough last me 2,746 years
Wrote 6,492 poems
And 4,508 books
It's s full life I'm having, ya know
Have ya accomplished as much as me?
Of course, I've not done all the calculations
To see if all that would be true
If we travelled at 186,000 miles per second
Could work it out, I suppose
How far is that in 1 minute? in 1 hour? 1 day?
How long does it take to sail round the world once?
How long does one moon trop take, there and back?
How long does one shopping trip take, on average?
How long to write one poem?
How long to write one book?
Then multiply it by the relevant numbers
There's another second coming up right now....
How we gonna spend it?!
LOL

Caught in a time warp Orchi? Think of the jet lag. Maybe your a photon caught in a two dimensional world where there is no time. As for what I'm going to do with the next second I'm going to finish this comment and move on to the next. Good inspirational write Orchi inspiration comes from all places and at times hymns.
Thank you SB.
Ah! Now I see our synchronicity 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
Between you and our good friend arqios, it seems there might be a running theme today! Seems like it might be time for me to check the memo and see how I missed writing about time today! 🤣 Well done on this, Orchi! ⏱️🖤🐦⬛
Thank you T.
You are welcome
How to get the most out of every second in one write, enjoyed the read
Thank you PL.
You are very welcome
Good write, Orchi. I will spend it on.....
A long walk
Down the red dirt road
Of my mind
Thanks J.
Time can be an illusion Orchi, it was only yesterday when you were walking your pet triceratops along the beach at Hastings. LOL

Yes lol. Thanks Gold. And tomorrow is - Oh you know, that thingy I never remember. Summat about tomorrow is the day I worried about next week. lol. You're a confused laddie, Fido says to me.
A great poem. Runs like clockwork. 🙂 And I'm spending this minute writing this comment. Nicely done. A fine write.
