Father Time's Pendulous Tongue
It's often said that time flies like the wind
If not used, it's something we can't rescind
Father Time is quite old
His hands we cannot hold
His incessant movement leaves us chagrined
The annoying sound of his tick-tocking
is tiresome in the language of clocking
His pendulum tongue
swings but it should be wrung
for it seems to be wagging and mocking
I wonder why he never seems to age
Perhaps he could be convinced to assuage
Or I'll take him apart
Drop him off at Walmart
Better yet, I'll murder him in a rage
