What Kind of God Would Allow This To Happen?


How inconvenient!
The Creator allowed us to invent time units,
based on a perfectly sensible diurnal cycle,
that leave leftover bits
at year's end:
WKOGWATTH?

So every 4 years,
we just make up a day,
out of nothing, out of desperation,
'cept every 100,
'cept every 400,
and it just goes on,
by a process of successive approximations:
WKOG etc?

Plus,
and furthermore,
a mere billion years ago,
nearly 500 days per yea,r
and in the beginning, a spinning top,
a whirling dervish:
is there no constant in this world?
W etc!

So, does anyone really know what time it is?
Does anyone even really care?
