Do any of you readers remember ?? way back...  a black n white series of documentaries showed in cinemas,  called "The MARCH of TIME"  (Emphasis on MARCH and emphasis on TIME.)   Oh well this little writing has nothing to do with that series..IT HAS to do with TIME. --------------------------   Once upon a time it started and it showed me the hour  twas eleven, 11 oh something ? and I'll be with you in a coupla secs or just a minute or 'a coupla minutes please' and even gimme a few minutes and then it was ten past then 11:11 and another four it showed quarter past or eleven fifteen   and maybe twenty past and perhaps eleven twennyfive and then half past..some also said eleven thirty and eleven thirtyfive and twenty to twelve.. then 11:45 or 'a quarter to' and on and on and on it went and when it showed 11:48 some said "it's nearly ten to" and at eleven fifty five some said "five to" and two minutes to go and on the hour of 12 noon or 12 midnite it showed 1200 it went 'peep'... and so it travelled thousands of miles and kilometers with me and needed changing twice a year at daylight-saving time and once I gave it a new battery... then after a long long time.. it stopped... a tribute to my twenty something year old very low price very ordinary looking swatch...   so who says it marches ? when it flies!
