Do you need time?

Why yes. I need a moment.

A little extra time.

I’ll be with you presently

But right now I need time.

---

I need some time to clear my head

To think what I should say.

I think I’ll really like this prompt

Once I get underway.

---

I’m prone to always rush things.

I need to take my time.

I ought to stop and think a bit.

Perhaps I’ll make it rhyme?

---

Good things are worth waiting for.

They come to you in time

But I will need a moment

To search for rhyming lines.

---

There’s so much that I could have done

If only I’d had time.

I put things off and now it seems

I’m running out of time.

---

Yes I think I do need time!

As much as I can get.

I’m prone to waste so much of it.

I dawdle and forget.

---

I’d like to understand it

The stuff that Einstein said

But all that relativity

Just sends me back to bed.

---

So I will put things off for now

I’ll do this when I’ve time.

I haven’t got much time just now.

I could have done with more.

---

I’ve let you down in that last verse

It sadly doesn’t rhyme.

It might have done. It could have done.

I just ran out of time.
