Once upon
A clock
Behold
Midnight special
Centerpiece
Right in the square
Beware
A Thief struck during the night
The clock had been stolen, but out of sight
The wonder became who and how
The citizens thought oh wow
Everyone was horrified
Some were even petrified
The clock was the attention of the town
Distance far enabled from surrounding communities
Swiss time town was about unity
The clock made Swiss Time Town famous
Acknowledgement
The question that came up was why was the clock stolen?
The clock had value in the hearts of the people, and meant everything to the town’s people
The Thief saw fortune
The long hand made the short hand into a theory
But it was still a mystery
Search after search
No find
The Thief was certainly not kind
Without a visual clock, what will happen to Swiss Time Town?
Moments are ticking, but no sound
The clock is nowhere to be found
The town got together and started connecting to each other in song and inspiring themselves
Until the clock is found being a if and when
What will the town people do until then?
It’s not a time to be discouraged, but embrace one another
Suddenly without warning, the clock appeared back at center in the square as if the thief had a heart or the singing touched the soul of thief
Swiss Time Town relief
Tick tock
The sound of time
Hope came alive
Strive
How about that?
Centerpiece of tranquil
Acceleration will
Happily ever after
Until
Time in, but didn’t die out
