Time (10W+1)

his favourite thing to say - no one got the inside joke so I added on the extra W

 

Time will tell,
he says

so far
the b***h isn't
tocking.

Some tock too much and never know when it's time to stop. Often it's when the big hand is...no wait, I didn't just say that. :) At least it isn't ticking, so no bomb scare here. A fun one KL.

Thanks. I am surprised how some people took it very harshly. I guess the b word threw them.

[NoelHC]

Ahh, time will tell, one of my favorite expressions. ; ) Very punny! Loved it.

[Lyn Anderson]

You should, you are one of two people who annoy me with this expression.:)

[NoelHC]

Umm, yeah, I figured that out, it was why I could not resist the comment!

[Pryde Foltz]

Hahah … clever … there is always time for a pun.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. Weirdly, some people didn't get it. I was perplexed at this, in this sea of big brains.

[Pryde Foltz]

I know this huge humongous head … I mean brain … needs coffee to produce. But time pieces have an affinity to me … here is my first poem that got me started on here …. it is not very good but it was the first (School one's don't count) More than anything it is a study in form …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqVPXvt7HFA

See what heartbreak and a couple glasses of rose can do to me.

Nice use of words. You said a handful in so few words. I liked these words. Thank you Dear friend for sharing your excellent poetry.

Thanks, I appreciate it, as always.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very entertaining poem.

[Jon Roggie]

With each moment passing, you still refuse to move your hands?

Sorry,
couldn't resist.

[Lyn Anderson]

That is awesome. Don't say sorry. I love it.

[redzone]

who's thinking when I have a "tocking" and then "ticking" 10W?? not me.. never think anyway but now that I have permission, well... Im just sighing with Enya ..

time will tock, as time also ticks and KL you always have the imagination to know which is which... as for the rest of us, we just ask for 11W please... ;0)

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, at first it was 10 W with one of the words not counting. But that just confused people. I have a numbers thing. It's a long story. Like avoiding the 13th floor -- but yeah, it's a very inside joke. :)

[redzone]

hey, I live on the 13th floor... ;-p maybe you can wave as you go by??!!! poems with inside jokes are cool, while when posted everyone can see, but not everyone needs to understand... but in either case no one can say there isn't imagination and aesthetics within an inside joke (poem)... and an Enya song can help those who are clueless don'tcha think??!!

[icelandicblue]

LOL...good one. This made me laugh.

[Matching Socks]

Lol! That was priceless!

[Lyn Anderson]

This does seem a lot like something you might write. You had me inspired lady.:)

[Matching Socks]

It's funny as hell, I love it!

[Bright Ocean Star]

I'm thought you were talking about a clock---tick tock---. 10W could indicate some type of lubricating oil....I'm familiar with 10W-40. He sprays the clock with oil to get it to go tick tock? I have no idea.

[Lyn Anderson]

You actually came the closest. You win the prize of my respect for your quirky mind.

[Bright Ocean Star]

God, I'm sorry my typing is terrible. I don't know why I typed "I'm thought"...just careless I suppose. But, thank you for the quirky mind comment. I graciously accept. Now, what was 10W+1?

[Lyn Anderson]

I will pm you.

[Rene Salinas]

This acidity here requires imagination to arrive to. It is not the easiest come up with either. My interpretation of tocking however must be the wrong one as I am nerd enough to know the meaning of the word. Lets hope his smell doesn't linger.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

It's a play on words and numbers Rene, and not nearly so acid as some are interpreting.

[Rene Salinas]

Oops I had the feeling I was going to be wrong.... I apologize..
