Second 16th Poem

Was going to write a cute nonsensical poem about snails, but found this other one written sooo very long ago... so here it is. A few of you might find it familiar!

I named this one "You Silly Boy"

You silly boy
Has anything ever waited for you?
Does time flow slower, thinking to give you a miss,
While the flowers never wilt
And the sparkle in young girls' eyes never dull,
Whilst young acorns refuse to burst from their coats...

Everything moves on
Oak trees die while young ones feed upon them
The sun pursues the moon, endlessly, tirelessly,
Clouds dissipate, come together, and dissipate once more
Blink and you might not even see me again
You silly boy.
