Into the bar they wandered
These scholars, numbered three,
And sat with drinks before them
Relaxed and talking free.
They spoke of many subjects
From alpha through to zed,
They all had their opinions
Before they went to bed.
One that troubled them the most
Was when they spoke of time,
The speed at which it travelled
It changed just like a rhyme.
The question that they pondered
Was how to slow it down,
To wait ‘til they were ready
Caused all of them to frown.
The English man just told them
What he would always say,
Leave it until tomorrow
Or ‘til another day.
The man from Spain then answered
And said they had a word,
That word was called manana
And slowness that incurred.
The Irish man then uttered
That they have slow words placed,
But theirs are somewhat different
And do not show such haste.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
well, it looks as though your rhythm and rhyming style has been writing for quite some time. it sounds perfectly worded and reads even better. great write, my friend.
Thank you kevin, I do like to surprise people sometimes. I have written in rhyming styles before but find my feelings can be better portrayed by writing in my normal way.
Manana fiend - I enjoyed the read Andy.
Thank you Michael, I am glad that you enjoyed it.
What a wonderfully entertaining write!
Thank you!

Most kind Resa, thank you.
THANKS ANDY ~ For me a TRIPLE WHAMMY ! Suddenly its SATURDAY (Mad as a Hatterday) Dean Martin ~ Awesome ~ When i give talks o Seniors on Dean ~ I ruffle feathers by saying "He is much better looking than Sinatra and a much better singer !" and I go on to prove it ! Hid Italian is impeccable even though he lived in the USA he only spoke Italian at home ~ compare his VOLARE with Franky's and you will get my point ! Life is too fast ~ even for a 30 something ~ I'm all for MANANA ~ My brother lives in Mexico and that's even more Manana than Spain ~ love it ! The third bone is a "Rhymer form Andy !" it reads & recites well ~ love the Manana Message" Thanks for sharin' Yours BRIAN

Thank you Laura, I am glad that I shone light on your day.
Lately I've hit manana big time....... suddenly I've been asking myself what WAS all that rushing around about? Fun one!
