Riddle in Time, With a Little Bit of Rhyme

I found Time
In the Riddle
And the Rhyme
But the riddle won't let me be

I hid in a tree
With the birds
And the bees
So bees please don't sting me

Riddle found me
With a little
Bit of ease
And teased me with her tricks

Riddle told Time
So without
Peace of mind
I age even older each day

Time won't rest
So I always
Do my best
But my best doesn't beat out Time

Time is the master
That creates
Disaster
Even if he should sleep

So I run away
Every single
Living day
So that Time might let me be

But Rhyme came to be
Because Time
Was lazy
And Man had time to think

So Rhyme came to me
Since I
Came to be
And with words I did riddle

Now Riddle is free
From Time
Who's angry
And I riddle my way about

Riddle me that
Riddle me this
Riddle began
Only what is

Since I found Time
In the Riddle
And the Rhyme
And the Riddle is here with me

I'll go about
With a scream
And a shout
And be about what is me
