                                  There is something that I see,

                                  A little bird song showed to me,

                                  About the rules that make us tick

                                  As hit a softball with a stick.

 

                                  And how the tick precedes the tock, 

                                  As measured by tooth on gear of clock.

                                  And how the hands go round and round,

                                  But never can go up or down.

 

                                  And then comes Daylight Savings Day,

                                  The clock must change, but just one way.

                                  Hands jump forward, later back,

                                  But never up or down, in fact.

 

                                   Yet serves its function by its rules,

                                  The minute hand knows not its tools,

                                  Just moves around that circle face,

                                  And leaves itself no single trace.

 

                                  But look at hour hand to see

                                  It moves almost imperceptibly.

                                  Starting at one, minute hand-circle is through,

                                  Now hour hand magically is pointing at two.
