Clocky and Watchy present "NOT Sleepy Time!"

Exempt Timecards for the month of May are now due.
But first some news I’d like to share with all of you…

Driving a long way, and driving home late,
Geoffrey got into an over-sleepy state,
He made a gentle turn entirely too wide,
Until with a guardrail post his car did collide.

His injuries? Minor—but his chariot? Wrecked!
As the shock wore off full amazement took effect,
He was sore, sure, and achy, but alive and quite well,
And is grateful he survived with a story to tell.


Flabbergasted Geoff

Clocky & Watchy in Rally Time!

Welcome BiWeekly Delegates of 5/7 to 5/20/17!

The time is now, and the goal is right!
Both city mouse and suburbanite
Should report their hours and from thence get paid!
‘Tis a fair and lofty fund crusade!

So, grab your wits and wield them true,
The cause you champion is none but You!
No need to wait or dilly-dally,
Come join us in our Timecard Rally!




















Emissary Geoff

Waiting Time!

The wait is now over, your reminder is here!
(And the author’s pic* is, I daresay, most sincere),
The rhymes are all versed, and the cartoon’s been drawn,
Only one thing is left to follow up on:

All you fine folk must do your timecards—and soon,
By Monday at three (that’s three hours past noon),
With nearly two-hundred that we must complete,
We need ample time to accomplish this feat!

So please rally all of your teams with a grand ballyhoo!

[For BiWeekly staff, from Four/Nine to /Twenty-Two!]

Clocky & Watchy in Big (Ben) Time!

Hallo, good maidens and sirrahs, I trust thou art all goodly well!
This fortnight’s* close doth find our friends in merry, olden London town,
The tower there, four-faced and spired, contains a secret, hidden bell,
This chime, Big Ben, it has been dubbed, ‘tis that true gong of much renown.

The clocks themselves and tower too get lumped beneath that sobriquet,
But that’s a fact of fame, forsooth, to be defined by nearby traits,
And I, myself, am oft confused with those that I create and yet,
If that should be my legacy then I shall gladly thank the Fates.


*3/26 to 4/8

World Time!

As March departs, the time grows near,
For Monthly staff to lend an ear,
For I shall spin a yarn of lore,
As such thou hast not heard before.

In Paris, France, “la ville lumière,”
(City of Lights), a spire stands there.
Its roots run deep, its girders girth-y,
A clockwork world, who goes by “Earthy.”

Clocky & Watchy in Gaucho Time!

BiWeekly Timecards covering the twelth to the twenty-fifth are due,
And once you approve them, then we’ll sign off—it’s the least that we can do.

Gaucho Time!

What did it take to make us Gaucho?
How did we earn such a unique name?
“You Bet Your Life,” hosted by Groucho,
Couldn’t even guess our Hollywood fame!




(And before you think we are just mascot one-and-done-rs, our previous incarnation was as the Roadrunners!)

Train Time!

Salutations, BiWeekly Relations!
This is for the playful pay period between:
two/twenty-six to three/eleven/‘seventeen.

Clocky and Watchy were very pleased with the feedback they received last time and so to show their appreciation they sent me the following note and pic from their travels (destinations unknown)!

“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Clocky & Watchy in Drive Time!

As February ends, and Monthly Timecards are ripe,
And struggles beset us at home and abroad,
Try to hold fast to the heroic archetype,
That supports and empowers, and by which we are awed.

That champion is within us, so let it come forth,
Express it with patience, compassion and glee,
Sing songs as you drive along the 101-North,

Increasing our joy helps them, us and we. 















Sing-A-Long Geoff
