THE FLIGHT OF TIME by J. K. BLAKE

First Line: TEMPUS FUGIT,' SAID THE ROMANS
Last Line: "ALL I SAY IS, ""LET HER FUGE!"
Subject(s): TIME;
"TEMPUS fugit," said the Romans;
Yes, alas, 't is fleeting on;
Ever coming,
Ever going,
Life is short, and soon 't is gone.

But as I think of next vacation,
Poring o'er these lessons huge,
Ever harder,
Ever longer,
All I say is, "Let her fuge!"
