Chasing Time

Watching time
Crawling by
Ticking past
Watch it fly

Out the door
Down the hall
Stumble now
Hear it fall

Starts up now
Out the back
Catch it in
This old sack

Ran away
Out of luck
Round the bend
Quick, now duck!

Phooey we
Lost its trial
Over there,
There's its tail!

Day's over
It's nearly ten
Time has won
Once again
