In a Second

What will you be doing in second?

Give me a second and I will tell you

Or maybe I can tell you what you were doing a second ago

That second has already gone

So now I will need another second to think about it

But as it will take longer than a second to write this I will then need another second to tell you

Then again seconds have now passed

Those seconds are in the past

I will likely need to ask if you have a second

On second thoughts that time has passed

It will now be a while that I need to compile

Gather some thoughts about what to write

This is despite the fact that time has passed

Will now need to grasp a flask

Then concentrate on the task

How long will it take you ask?

Probably need a second

Maybe tell you more in second

But wait a minute

It depends how you spin it

Put your heart in it

This is one way to win it

I only asked because I thought for a second

Maybe this is a lesson

No need for aggression

Will be spending time this session

To write some expression

As I have no idea what you will be doing in a second

But in a second that second will be second ago

For Fun
