IT'S PAST

For Carry On Tuesday
This week:
"Each day just goes so fast,
I turn around - it's past"


DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO...?

"PAST the football stadium;
IT’S about a mile from here.
AROUND the first roundabout;
TURN right onto Princess Street.
I think that’s what the road's called;
FAST-food take-outs all along,
SO many you can’t miss it.
GOES a bit fuzzy from here;
JUST slow down a bit, you’ll see.
DAY Centre’s well sign-posted.
EACH Monday, someone asks me."

    This was great Stan, loved the way you wove the phrase up and backward through the piece...

    Clever write! Using the prompt backwards as a thread seems to attempt to rein in the pace of time!

    Thanks GT; To no avail - what goes around comes around.

    Thanks Nara; I'm not too good at giving directions.
