Well, someone must be taking it

Cause surely it's not me

It just keeps disapearing

This 'TIME' we can not see.

I'd surely like to know just whom

This thief of time might be.

I just may want to buy from him

A piece of time for me.

My first stop your way .. And it won't be the last..lovely little poem and so true .

Floating around the globe is this unknown authors piece .thought it tied in with yours ..Same Humour!

A man once ask God .
'God what is time to you?'
God Replied,
A million of your years is but one second of mine!'
The man then asked God.
God,What is wealth/money to you?'
God replied,
'A million of your pounds is but one penny of mine!'
After a short pause the man asked God.
'God,can I have one of your pennies?'
God replied ,
'yes,in just one second!'

Success with you writtng.

I know! but who has been taking it? if we find out who has it then MAYBE we can buy some back LOL

Very good Katie. Makes me think.

Edward Young (English poet, 1863-1765) said, "Procrastination is the thief of time...", but I think that now it is the internet we have to watch out for.
