Only twelve numbers

To make the world go around

That's why the hands spins round and round

πŸ•›

One represents five minutes or a hour

Tick each second

Oh how time flies

πŸ•’

Let's ride the hands

A long scary ride for most

A short one for some

πŸ•“

One moment you crying on it

The next you laughing

You only get to ride the clock once so enjoy it

πŸ••πŸ•–πŸ•—πŸ•™πŸ•šπŸ•›

A/N: Day 2 of the fun poetry challenge by Ellie Hoovs. This theme was clock.

    "You only get to ride the clock once" a great reminder and solid warning to make the most of the time one has.
