Leapsecond

just a wee ditty to celebrate the gift of the extra second in our lives

Leapsecond, leapsecond 

what should I do 

June 30 it’s a gift 

to me and you 

for we all gain a second 

so use it be wise

don’t waste any time 

we all know how it flies 

we are always told

live in the now - but

plan your leapsecond 

with a when, why and how

perhaps a vacation 

yes a mini-break 

or even a long lunch 

we all deserve to take 

a wee nap to catch up

on waking sleep lost 

a quick shopping spree 

forgetting the cost 

ah an extra second we have 

oh what should I see

but wait - what if I blink 

No second for me?

Great work young lady. Fun piece based in reality. I really like this piece. Great content and flow. It all fits together so well. Thanks, now I think a mini nap would help this day as I utilize my second in only one way.

this is fun, and reminds me of a george carlin skit "there's a moment coming, here it comes, it's almost here, here it is, aw s**t, it's gone"

every second counts, but most of us don't take advantage of each one enough.

[KWP]

Oh yes and ..... S**t it's gone ..... Bugger! X

Hello my Cyprus buddeski .. I was listening in the radio about the extra second ... They want everyone to film what they are fun for the extra second and they are gonna make a montage ... How cool ... Time outta nowhere appears for all to see ... 😃

[R Smith]

by the time i find my camera i'll have missed it lol but i look forward to what you did in your one second? XXX

I just heard about this on the radio. Definietly playground for mirth and you take full advantage here KwP. This is funny. Well done my friend. The last stanza is a masterclass in subtlety.

Oh by the by ....my computer can execute 4 billion program lines on a second while I turn my head and look at the coffee pot.
Kudos KwP. !!
