Time: Our Clumsy Partner

Do you wonder what a Roman Centurion thought as he gazed at his sundial?

A sundial so reliable yet, always unfashionable during storms.

Beneath the umbrellas of countless metronomes, a symphony of chaos reigned.

Who programmed the cuckoo to sing out of tune? The gods of time mock us.

The void cradles that ticking sound – correct, and yet, woefully inaccurate.

Every moment wasted is a quartz battery slot waiting for an emergency donut.

A voyeuristic clock: always watching, perpetually late.

Is this time or merely an empty hand on a broken watch?

Ah, dear inventive souls of discontinuity, your gaffes conjoin our laughter.

Inventor of the unsad trumpeting clock, though it never made it to fashionable flummox.

Laundromats and horology: a dish of washed-out math wrapped in potential disasters.
