Easy
EASY
Oh how easy to forget about time,
Ignore it certainly by your own design,
But be conscious of what it can do,
Making you late for your next interview.
When not important you can use ‘Island Time'
No need to worry you get along fine,
Under those circumstances it doesn't matter much,
Hands of a clock you don't see or touch.
Within a city with meters running fast,
Constantly there's pressure no relaxing as in the past,
Then for work there's a commitment involved,
Gone glide time it disappeared or dissolved.
Birthdays and anniversaries come to the fore,
What you didn't remember about those you adore,
You must record and document these days,
Striking a balance is what really pays.
