To time my lady’s attitude,  
that she, not clocks is in control 
She makes it clearly understood 
 that she considers on the whole. 
 That time is only relative 
 to what she wants or needs to do. 
 She’s most unlikely to forgive. 
anyone who thinks she ought to 
 be ruled by clocks like other folk. 
 Content to hurry up and wait  
she treats the whole thing as a joke. 
When  circumstances make her late.  
She sees no need to fume and fuss  
and those who do as ludicrous.
