Tick tock
taunts that clock!
Just like a man
he ran
keep your eyes on him
before the lights dim
and you lose sight of him
a game of catch
we raced down the tracks
but it was never a match
he must have been using hacks
we ran past the dam
i saw an ice cream van
i was getting kinda famished
looked back and the man had vanished!
A thought flashed across my mind
if only i could turn back time
fixed my eyes on the prize
all would have been made right
but..
ironically in order to do that
i’d have to catch that running man!
Before i could take another step
two loud cracks filled the air
as the sky burst into colours everywhere.
i looked on with regret
as everyone ushered in the new year…
