#Napowrimo #Time
The big clocks in Greenwich and Westminster
always seemed to chase their younger cousins
for while Tim kept the rest of time’s children
running at pace, the big clocks
wheels occasionally showed their age
where did those seconds go ?
Instant Zing to their clockwork hearts ?
Tick following Tock following Tick
provided by a simple copper coin
teaming together to ensure their
smaller family members
were kept on time – occasionally – one dropped
meanwhile the sundial
in the garden smiled
as it never lost a second
The Inkwell 
Where would we be without those small adjustments!
