Time is less a word than it is a concept; larded with so much suggestive undertone.

Examples:

• Youths waste it.
• Old timers mark it.
• Prisoners serve it.
• Musicians tap their toes to it.
• It flows like sand through an hour-glass.
• It waits for no man.
• It marches on.
• Time is money.
• Time flies. (Tempus fugit.)
• Excuse me. Do you have the time?
• Is it time to leave?
• I’ve had a wonderful time.

Constrained only by rules of the Greenwich Observatory and the Gregorian calendar; time marches to its own tune.

But what is the official definition of time?  That depends: Is it a verb?  A noun?  An adjective? An adverb?  Perhaps even a dangling participle?  Actually, time is all of the above; thereby defying simple definition.  That’s what makes it so delicious.

Don’t waste it.  Use it (but judiciously).

By now, you’re probably thinking: “This guy has too much time on his hands.”

Which reminds me: I must run to the store now. You see, I’m preparing dinner tonight and I’ve run out of thyme.

You are welcome.
