Time is not a Doctor

Beer in sippy cups

A statement for further review:

It's been said, "Time heals all wounds."

But this claim, is one I refuse.

As I am sure, not every adage is true.

I think this assertion, came from a fool.

Not once, has my time attended school.

With no medical licenses to hold,

My time could not diagnose a cold.

And while my times goes, he never grows up.

I watch him still drink beer from sippy cups;

He told me that it helps to keep it chilled.

And he hates to spend himself paying bills,

because my time is still a little kid,

so let's play hide and seek

and I can show you where he's been.
