No one mentioned the diamonds. It takes time and incredible pressure to create diamonds. Lack of time and incredible pressure also creates fudged tax returns, but I digress… ---

I see my folks, they’re getting old, I watch their bodies change… I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel strange… No matter how you tell yourself, It’s what we all go through… Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they’re staring’ back at you. Scared you’ll run out of time. (Bonnie Raitt: Nick of Time) Nobody’s permanent Everything’s on loan here Even your wife and kids Could be gone next year And with what you have left You’ll be forever under pressure To support her And a lover who looks strangely Like Time the Avenger (the Pretenders: Time the Avenger) To everything, turn, turn, turn There is a season, turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time to love, a time to hate A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late (Pete Seeger: Turn Turn Turn) ---

I had a dog named Time. He kept pestering bikers, and cars. Somebody asked me once why he was called Time. I said: (you know what’s coming) Because Time hounds all wheels. [duck and cover] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/time/193988.md?page=1)
