The Clock asked the Time:
What should I do with the time?
Time said: time will tell.

This is so excellent in it's simplicity. The clock telling us time will tell. So "helpful" - thanks clock!
Very sweet... sounds like Time trumped the Clock in this poem!
Lol, time is not being helpful. Loved your poem!
And that’s how time loops on itself.
Such a clever and playful Senryū—your words made time feel magical!
Hehe time will tell is crazy
