Cone Man takes stock - 5th December 2021

 

Cone Man takes stock

5th December 2021

 

Cone Man’s compiled verse to printer went,

Cone Man comfortably enjoyed Advent.

2022 was drawing near,

How could he seize the New Year?

 

The sands of time waited for no man,

Slipping away from the man with no plan.

Cone Man had lived 9 and 50 years,

Cone Man hand not well used these years.

 

“You must seize time or be seized by time,”

Cone Man muttered, lamenting wasted time.

How many left works unwritten,

Being by untimely death smitten?

 

Knowing not the day of his death,

He’d repent of sloth till his last breath.

Plan for 2022 he should,

Seize every day he would.

 

If his god allowed him many years,

Then he would have few fears.

If his god summoned him in a few years,

Then he would have few fears.

Either way he’d hope to hear:

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
