Poems About Time by Giovanni Manna

Lots of people like to read poems and like me every one has a favourite. My favourite is called ''Length of time'' and it goes like this...
Time is peculiar and hardly exact.
Though minutes are minutes you'll find a fact
[as the older you get And the bigger you grow]
that time hurry like this or plod very slow.
Waiting for your dinner when you're hungry?
Down with the sniffles in your bed?
Notice how an hour crawls along and crawls along
Like a snail with his home upon his head.
But when you are starting a game at the park
it's morning, it's noon, and suddenly its dark.
And hours like seconds rush blurringly by,
Whoosh!like a plane in the sky.That was by Phllis McGinley.

I recommend this book for all ages.
