Time, Things and Responsibilities
Responsibilty
Responsibility shines so bright,
Each new day with New delight.
In darkness brings light!
It’s a secret ingredient to our life.
It protects us from strife!.
Responsibility brings joy to each new day,
It keeps all our despair at bay,
Responsibility makes you work hard,
The result is sweet, like a tart.
Responsibility does not bring trouble
Instead makes praise double!

Tick Tock
It waits for no man,
You can’t even keep it in a can!
Try as you might, it won’t stop
Even in a box, you can’t lock.
Tick tock, tick tock, it goes,
It won’t wait to hear your woes.
It could be your enemy he or she,
It could even be worse than Loki.
Time will always move,
You won’t even have time to groove.
But still, best you don’t wait,
By now, a whole minute it ate.
You get saved every minute earlier you wake.

Where Are You?
Once I lost my shoe,
Now what do I do?
Once I lost my pen
I think what took it was a hen.
Once I lost my phone,
Yeah, my job is blown.
Once we lost the remote
Who will watch TV? We had to vote!
Oh, where is my stuff?
They all seem to bluff.
