                               The Ministry of Clockery

                                 Moonbeam Saving Time

Change for the sake of change – spare change? Spare change?
There must be a Ministry of Clockery
With Cratchit-y clerks drawing clocks at their desks
Supervised by a Scrooge of Clockery

They scriven at their screens and so change things
Chanting “Change is good” and “Progress is change”
“The more things change, all the more change for us”
And if nothing needs changing, yes it does

And once in a while at the Coke machine
One of the Cratchit-y clerks laughs, “Spare change?”
