Time Stopped For Fear
Time stopped for Fear
she held her breath and then
stepped aside politely and
tiptoed 'round the bend
And 'though she kept on going
she slowed down to a crawl
until it seemed she hadn't
kept going on at all
Thus Fear felt respected-
so powerful and large
that he practically decided
that he would be in charge
Reason was evicted
and Logic left in tears
in the chaos that ensued
from his cruel taunts and jeers
He bullied all about him
'til he went too far and caused
the very things they dreaded
when Time herself had paused
Then recklessly they ran ahead-
Time quickly joined the race
for Fear was left defeated when
they met him face to face!
