“uneven time”

He likes to eat dinner at six–
says it's an even time.


The horse ran
at an uneven pace
losing time.  
He lost the race.


tugs at her braids
sitting in the classroom
mom never gets them even


         Said the little girl, this is unfair,
          the sun in my eyes caused a glare.
            Her teammate said, too bad,
            you really should have had
       sunglasses on like me.  I was prepared.

    Nicely done poem. I especially like the limerick at the end.
