Time is Relative
A limerick about the passage of time
The minutes and hours are slow
As today goes, so goes tomorrow
But the years fly right by
In the blink of an eye
And I wonder—where did the time go?
___________
The only limericks I've ever heard are risqué, and I've never written one. I thought this sounded fun, so I wrote five (in various tones, from light-hearted to serious). I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I have said that many times myself. Things that make you wonder.
Perfectly crafted, and so absolutely true. Excellent limerick, Staci!
Seems like it was just 1964 yesterday.
Ah, yes, the elusive time. Love this, Staci!
This poem beautifully captures the fleeting nature of time and how it seems to slip away from us.
I wonder this all the time!
Right?!?! I’m like, how is it March already?! Love it, Staci 💕🙂
You've captured it well, Staci. Where did the time go . . . 💙
This reminds me of something I wrote years ago. (Not a limerick.) It was called, "I turned around," and was about how quickly life passes. I'm not sure I even have it now.
