What Time Is IT?
by
Phil Pochurek
What time is it?
Does anybody know? Oh I forgot
Nobody cares.
If the suns on the dock it’s 9:30
Time to put on a hat
Or go comb your hair.
Have some coffee and throw on some bacon
Just a bite before its back to the dock,
Grab some sunscreen and whatever you’re drinkin
If you leave something consider it forgot.
As long as there’s plenty of worms and corn
There’s not much else that you need,
Maybe a sandwich and a beer or two
Maybe something to read.
When the wind picks up its 11:00 or 1:00
When it lays down its 8:30 or 9:00
That’s when some people call it a day,
While I head for some pants, the off, and some wine,
And come back to watch the bats play.
Time is the least of your worries
On the lake I just put my watch away,
There’s so much to do I’m just lucky
If I cared, to remember the day.
