TIME

Time is a greedy old miser
Always taking our pennies
never loaning us a dollar.

I don't see how our lives
can be better because of his,
but I guess if it weren't for him,
we wouldn't have pennies, as well.

Each minute we have is borrowed,
each tic not truly ours;
so it seems we'd better be grateful,
and make good use of whatever 's ours.
