Today, Tomorrow, Last Year?

orchidee

I'm a confused laddie!

Is it today, tomorrow, or last year?

Today, this very day, I mean

What day is it? What year? What Century?!

 

I dunno

I dunno if I'm coming or going

On the way to town, I met myself coming back (eh?)

 

Here's a saying - not original by me though:

'Tomorrow is the day you worried about yesterday'

Or summat like that

One version has it as:

'Tomorrow is the day you worried about tomorrow'

Eh? Work that one out!

 

Told ya I'm confused!

Fido of course is never confused

Seeing as he is a fount of all wisdom

He knows 99% of all there is to know

Who knows the other 1%? - me!!

Well, I only got 3 brain cells you see

Fido has 300 trillion or more

 

Why can we never find 'tomorrow'?

When it gets here, it's 'today'

And why can we never find 'this moment in time'?

Cos the next moment it's, well, 'the next moment'

If we must be exact!

 

I'm the guy who spent so long finding out what 'carpe diem' meant

That by the time I found out, it was bedtime

And no day left to seize - Doh!

LOL

        Fun read, Orchi! If you miss the day you can always carpe noctem...just saying. 🤷‍♂️

        • orchidee

          Thanks T. I thought the carpe bit was summat to do with fish. I spent all day in an encyclopedia of fish. Doh!

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            LOL! I hear they're yummy...but I do believe the fish is missing the 'e'. Sigh. 🙄 What you seem to have needed was a dictionary! 🤣 But hey, I bet you can really tell me about that breed of fish now! 🐠 All jokes aside, you are welcome, Orchi!
