You Know Six Is Short Poem by Charles Wamuti

You know six is short,
When it curls more than a seven!
You know how six years are short,
When your first big exam you are about to do,
And they are even lesser,
When you are done with high school,
And staring at the eyes of your first love.

You know six minutes are short,
When lips locked to your loved one,
Their mother approaches from a corner!
You know six hours are short,
When the last meal you ate was just six hours ago,
And more the stomach as if hollow asks!

You know sixty years are short,
When your children are parents,
And they know raising them six was such an jolly trip,
Yes, you know sixty years are short,
When you look back at the work of your hands,

You know that six seconds are short,
When in early climax all is wet and it's time to sleep.
True, you know six is short,
And to a fly it's just about a complete lifetime.
