TIME

My teacher says

Time always ticks at the same speed

But I don't believe it...


In class the clock tocks so slowly

Breaktime never seems to come

But playtime...

Races

Flies so fast

2 seconds - it's gone in a flash!

My teacher says

That's impossible. Time ticks at the same speed.


The days before my birthday time drags,

I toss and turn in bed

Picture presents, cake, in my head

And on the day...

Hurray!

Cards, Presents

Party -

Friends - Games -

Gone

And the birthday day is over.

My teacher says

That's just silly. Time ticks at the same speed.


It doesn't explain - when I'm out with my mates

Hanging

Kicking

Taking it easy

Time skips past

But sad news - bad news slows my world right down

I want it to be over – finished

Back the way things were,

Not stuck in the hours' that feel like days...


My teacher says

Nothing has changed. Time ticks at the same speed

But I'm still not sure I believe it...!
