Hour hand Sits smug Pointing Upright Move done Now wait Always first Never late Just a very slight stop start twitch that calls its taller pair Come to me Nearly there Grab that cold, hard metal with both hands Strong clasp Arms straight Heavy hang Use your weight Stop the hand be -fore the top and Double bells Tolling twelve Lets you know Time is up

Don’t let the clock strike 12
Hour hand Sits smug Pointing Upright Move done Now wait Always first Never late Just a very slight stop start twitch that calls its taller pair Come to me Nearly there Grab that cold, hard metal with both hands Strong clasp Arms straight Heavy hang Use your weight Stop the hand be -fore the top and Double bells Tolling twelve Lets you know Time is up
