Little Time
The nanosecond is very small.
If you stop to think of it,
You won't see it at all.
But nanosecond has shorter cousins.
To make just one nano,
Takes picos by the dozens.
If picoseconds aren't short enough,
To satisfy your sense of time span.
Try squeekosecond; it's over before it began.
William's Whimsical Words:
If time is money, and money is the root of all evil; is time evil?
