Time is fleeting

My cousin @tillie_aryeetey shared a tweet from @Elorm_Alek inviting poets to express themselves with the picture in the tweet.

I tried my hands at poetry (inspired by my cousin) and below is what I came up with on the spur of the moment:

He was in his prime

Yet he thought all he had was time

He toiled and toiled without a dime

Snap! His time was cut short

And the clock of his life gave up without a chime
