Slow and Fast
My time moves fast and it moves slow.
Depending on how well things go.
While teaching children at the school,
I taught them all each helpful rule.
And they were taught the lessons that
Would help them stand when they're knocked flat.
But now I'm home retired at last
Amazed how time was slow and fast!
