Has anyone seen my watch?
Time has run away...
Infuriatingly it does this,
When I want it most to stay.
I've searched my head and heart,
Looked all over the house,
Yet time has foiled me once again,
Crept stealthy as a mouse.
I wanted just a second,
A little Time's reprieve,
But oh no, Time can't grant that!
Can't give me any leave.
So here I find myself searching,
For Time and for my pride,
I have a fear I'll find it soon,
It'll reappear: a crashing tide.
