Time waits for no gnome

Time is a dirty cheat! It sneaks up on you unexpected when you are busy doing something else, but then hangs around like a bad smell when you have to wait for something. I think it is time it cleaned up its act. It cant hide its face behind its hands all the time. It should wait whilst we sleep, slow down when we need to think, and skip ahead all those boring bits. If it doesn't pull its weight it could get left behind, and without us, who would care about it?
