Sing-Song
Tribble dribble
Dripping ripping
Here I see the end
There they saw me break and bend
Wish wash
Criss cross
Holding up your hands
Griped and wrapped in bands
Scribble scrabble
Ricket racket
Write it all down fast
leave it in the past
Pish posh
Tisk task
Now hold your eager tongue
Repeat tunes you've sung
Drea bai
Tick tock
And though our time's long
Look's your time's all gone
Dripping ripping
Here I see the end
There they saw me break and bend
Wish wash
Criss cross
Holding up your hands
Griped and wrapped in bands
Scribble scrabble
Ricket racket
Write it all down fast
leave it in the past
Pish posh
Tisk task
Now hold your eager tongue
Repeat tunes you've sung
Drea bai
Tick tock
And though our time's long
Look's your time's all gone

This reads like a child's rhyme but the concept of time running out is scarily adult. Time speeds up the older you get. Enjoy it while you can. I'm curious as to what "drea bai" means. I looked it up but couldn't find it.

drea bai is an inside joke between me an an old friend. It was simply word vomit resulting from too much stress and frustration and it became our term for when we were too hot to speak
