Zero Hour

Check again.  Is all in order?

Have you everything?

Check out time and you're not ready.

Typical to say the least.

Piddle, piddle, dawdle, diddle,

Never in a rush until

Zero hour comes and you

Become a raving beast,

Ranting, rushing willy-nilly,

Hither-tither to and fro.

Time ticks shorter every second

Watching your impatience grow.

Planning would have been a plus.

Perhaps you wouldn't be so sour

If you had concentrated, honing in

On this, the zero hour.
