Ok, it's a poem, well...it's sort of a poem. I hate poems.
I had some Time to waste so,
There I was, just sitting, playing Solitaire and
Suddenly, I could swear I heard Time rush right by me.
I got up, looked all around and sure enough,
Time had passed right by, almost without notice.
“Now Wait just a Minute!” I thought.
That’s just not right!
Why is Time trying to get passed me without my
Noticing?
Why is Time trying to sneak by?
I decided that I had had an epiphany. 
An “Ahah!” Moment. 
I was sure I had stumbled onto something.
So, I took my Time and thought it over carefully.
Time, I decided, is pretty sneaky.

After all, you can share Time
You can spend Time
You can waste Time
You can wait a Minute or an Hour or a Day or a
Week or a Year
You can have Nap Time, Vacation Time, No Time,
All The Time In The World,
SomeTime, AnyTime, Me Time, Travel Time and
Time Travel (oh sure) And even Peace Time
OH…MY…GOD! You can even have Pizza Time!
I went crazy.  Time off, Time On, Family Time,
Prime Time, Happy Time, Sad Time,
Movie Time, Dinner Time, Lunch Time, Breakfast Time,
Snack Time, Party Time,
Sick Time, Personal Time…jeez! My head was spinning.
You can lose Time, find the Time, take the Time and
You can have a pasTime,
Then there’s Real Time, Time Gone By, Old Times,
Good Times, and Father Time.
I was starting to get dizzy. And then it happened.
Without notice, suddenly, there it was again, another epiphany.
“Time is broken into a million little pieces!  It’s everywhere you look!”
“I wonder if the President knows about this?  Oh, wait a Minute!
Is it Election Time?”

When I came to, my wife was standing over me with a worried
Look on her face.
“You fell asleep and drooled on your desk.” She said.
Then she asked, “Do you have any idea what Time it is?”
I looked blankly across the room and said, “Not a clue!”
