4/4

What is 4/4 time in time for?
Metered time for formal meetings.
Meet her mother’s former farmers,
Forking thyme on meat or greens.

A440 forms forthwith a
Matter most unfortunately
Forward, framing now a pitch and
Not a forthright metered format.

Hermits’ matters from the farm are
Most straightforward, but they say your
Meter for the time machine was
Found in 1444.

Finally your fitful fortune
Meted out your timely furlough.
Take your free time in a meter
Four by four by four by four-o.
