Fire
Eleven a.m. Came riding her horse into town
Noon waited around the corner just to try and take her down
Tuesday wanted to take them
Both outside to play
Friday got here really quick
And just really wants to stay
December rolled down the window
Threw snow about the ground
May waited patiently
To bloom those flowers all over town
A year stood in the window
Watching all of them pass by
Decade heard the doorbell ring
Thought it was just a silly lie
Century tried to remember
Forgot to write it in the book
Millennium found out later
Didn't have time to take a look
Eternity finally came calling
Couldn't figure out who to see
Second started yelling
Come on! Won't you visit me
Minute got so impatient
Said things he did not mean
Hour started wondering
About their self esteem
Letter started thinking
She should probably form a word
Sentence saw it flying
Wanted to talk about a bird
Chapter got obsessive
Wrote in complete detail
Novel got all uppity
Screamed till they couldn't yell
History wanted to tell them all
Though they got so very tired
The humans well....................
They showed up
And burnt it in a fire!
