We try to track time
And explore space,
People solve the crime
And take part in a race.
Someone wants to turn back time,
Others wish to spend it fine.
Write some lines to make them rhyme
Which may cheer you up and make you smile.
Look up high into the sky —
Enjoy the grace of unlimited space,
Make your progress — not a mess,
Life is great, we should confess!
