Time Flies.....

Tempus Fugit.....

‘ Time, it is relevant’, or  so Einstein said,

It came from a notion, somewhere in his head,

But Pad won’t believe it; maybe he’s wise,

He said ‘ Tempus Fugit’, or to you,‘ Time flies’.

Poor Einstein - his theory of relativity,

Was a sign, old Pad  said, of naivety,

That theory is one thing that’s not in God’s plan

He’s said to have said, ‘Time waits for no man’.

If Einstein were right, what would a man do?

But fly back a few years, then forwards a few,

His antics they would be just like a woman,

‘ Till no one knew if, he was goin’   or  comin’.

‘ You would be able to  see, if Einstein were right,

Next week’s news headlines, sometime tonight,

And last years potatoes, the ones that you ate,

Would not yet be planted, or gathered as yet’.

‘ You could meet your own son when he’s ninety-one,

Then see your own father, when his life begun,

Then kiss your own mother when she was a girl,

Life, if he’s right, would be all in a whirl’.

‘ So take my advice’, Old Pad, thinks he’s right,

‘ That Einstein was clever, and yes, very bright’,

‘ His theories’ says he, ‘they surely won’t last’,

‘ What’s done, it is done, and what’s gone, is the past’.
