The passage of time can be quite a bore.
It inevitably ends our moments of pleasure.
It errodes any and every good feeling.
It rotts our food.
It ages our bodies.
It fucks with our brains. (making the brain too darn sopisticated to enjoy life that the curious brain of a child does)
It allows us to become more drunk than we would like to be.
Our brains and the passage of time are colluding to make our lives hell.
It maketh us to lie in green pastures.

It improveth wines and spirits.
If time were to suddenly stop and you were no longer able to think or move, you’d feel pretty silly for saying that.
No, wait, I suppose you wouldn’t.
Aw, c’mon, Lobsang , mate – if old farts like me can put up with that dang calendar flipping over, you can!
So you want everything to happen all at once, do you?

You run and you run
to catch up to the sun
but it’s sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way
but you’re older
shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Whats with all the anti-time threads!
What beith thy solution to thine problem ey’?
It’s better than the alternative…
You’re older than you’ve ever been
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older

It’s on my side.
Yes it is.
What is life but an irritating interruption of peaceful nonexistence.
I think your beef is more with entropy than with time, though I suppose it doesn’t “sing” as well.
In the words of Sinead O’Connor: “Fight the real enemy!”. Or not.

I find the juxtaposition of a username inspired by a character in a Pratchett novel who is a member of an order of monks who futz around with Time complaining about the passage of Time to be amusing.
That is all.

(If I remember the book ending correctly) I am time.
(I am also relieved to find that my OP looks relatively normal, considering how much I drank)
Honey…is that you?
I get the “time sucks” lecture at least twice a week, usually more…
