its 4 o`clock
and its time to go
for if i miss it
thats three in a row
two would be better
but once would be best
if there were none then
i wouldn`t fail the test
time keepings not all
that its cracked up to be
sometimes you`re early
and sometimes you`re late
what time you get there
can sometimes decide your fate
Good one EB I often wonder what the fashionable elite mean by being suitably late is great. If you and I did that they would change our fate.
That's an open question, right? Late for work? Late for an appointment? Late for a romantic liaison? The only thing I want to be Late for is my demise.
OK Brian
I may be completely off my rocker but this is how I read that poem.
I pictured a guy in a bar that is open 24 hours a day. . He has been on a drinking binge and three 4 o' clocks have gone by - gonna be late for everything.
He has drank so much, if he was stopped by the police -he fail the sobriety test.
However - realizes he can't drive so he has to wait til he sobers up - making a good decision regarding his fate.
(Better to be late than dead or having something terrible occur.)
and that's when you know you wrote something really good Brian, when people see the word sand have very different interpretations. Well done.
Like Phill said in a different thread- it's a mute point by now as the ship has long sailed - but keep them coming Man ! 
Tig
im glad you saw something in it,as i havent a clue what its about
but i`ll go with you version because it makes me sound real clever.
haha thats a clever bit of writing. I think it can be interpreted many ways.
