I never knew....

orchidee

I never knew there was so much

In some of the rubbish I write!

I mean some amazing, erudite comments

And intelligent too - 

Since when did I say anything 'intelligent'? heehee

 

It's a case of 'I never knew all that - but I know it now!'

I never knew we could do so much in one second

You know, that extra second we had one year

How did you spend it?

 

Me? I certainly didn't waste that second, cos I

Flew round the world 7,483 times

Sailed around the world 7,493 times

Took a trip to the Moon and back 9,492 times

All in a time lapse?

Or I did it all at the speed of light!

 

I've not worked the calculations though

Of whether this is correct

Could I have done all that at the speed of light? heehee

Summat like 186,000 miles per second

So I win every Marathon I enter

26 miles - Pah! Nothing to me! lol

    I'm not working those numbers to verify such things. All I can say is that the read was fun and its the trip not the destination that makes time worth while. Good one Orchi

          Orchi - what you need is an AI assistant. There's one on my PC hanging around offering to rectify or perhaps reconstruct my script/poem and stave off any apprehensions of madness to the outside world.

                I am not sure, but I will bring a brolly someday and interrogate. A brolly and a blindfold, make it! 🤣

                You riot, spinning around so fast I'll cover my eyes to avoid dizziness. And you were too busy to realize what? I give up. Thank you for sharing.

                  Poet, astronomer, philosopher, physicist, I'm always in a state of wonderment of your many talents. I can always count on a delightful surprise, you lighten and brighten my day.

                    Your poem revolves around the humorous reflection on the absurdity of time and the limitless possibilities it presents. The poet comically exaggerates their accomplishments within a brief moment, showcasing a playful take on the concept of time and human potential.

                      Thank you F. lol.

                      What about the 385 yards, it you did not run them as well you never reached the end of the marathon!

                      • orchidee

                        Thank you Gold. lol. Oops I forgot the 385 yards, so I may never have won.
