Brent,
 
The question of time well spent
Is indeed a horological event
The economical component
Most pertinent to the moment
Not in Dollar, Pound or Franc amounts
Quality time is the span that counts
 
Not the weighty spar on wings yet expounded
No doubt the air is heavy for those now grounded
'Tis meteorology, not metrology that chains me here
Inside, not outside - cold and snow imbuing my fear
That winter weather's a tether, a leash, a chain
Known by Lancairians that await spring's rain
Its' astrological progression just out of sight
Its' creep oft measured in furlongs per fortnight
 
Grayhawk
