Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 603 (Don’t Know Where The Time Went)

Don’t know where the time went-

Can’t remember how the days were spent.

.

Seems like I was about to leave-

To go out and celebrate New Year’s Eve.

.

And, then all of a sudden, I was dressed to

celebrate Halloween-

With Thanksgiving and Christmas about to

appear, on the scene.

.

They say that time passes quicker, the older

you get-

But, gee with that scenario, I’m not ready yet.

.

I need to figure out how to stretch the day-

So that it doesn’t continue to slip away.

.

To take a pause to slow things down-

To take that special moment, to really look around.

.

Don’t know where the time went-

Can’t remember how the days were spent.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 569 (Until The Day Is Done)

We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.
.
Outside we had so much fun-
Of course, using our imagination.
.
A program or two, on TV, we’d get to see-
And, then the rest, of the time, outside we
would be.
.
Climbing trees and making mud pies-
Counting bees, and catching flies.
.
Running, til we could run no more-
Always wondering, what next, would be
in store.
.
Playing hide and seek-
With that once, in a while peek.
.
Sitting under a tree-
Talking of what we would do next,
and what we’d grow up to be.
.
We used to play, in the summer sun-
From the early morning, til the day was done.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 989 (Sleep Will Come Later)

We were worn-

After the baby was born.

.

And, the leisure sleep went away-

For the baby awoke, both night and day.

.

To be fed, to be changed, and to be rocked-

Had we known, our past sleep time, we might have stocked.

.

But, through it all we figured it was best-

Later, in life, there will be plenty, of time, to rest.

.

We were worn-

After the baby was born

Turned into modern inline.
