TO TELL TIME
“I want to tell time,” said Tiddly Winks.
The School Room Clock smiled at him.
He said, “Look at my two hands.”
He said,
“Look at my shorter hand,It points to the hour you understand.”
“Look at my shorter hand,It points to the hour you understand.”
“Look at my shorter hand,It points to the hour you understand.”
“Look at my shorter hand,
It points to the hour you understand.”
Tiddly Winks repeated the words over and over.
The Clock spoke again,
“Look at my longer hand,It points to the minutes, you understand.”
“Look at my longer hand,It points to the minutes, you understand.”
“Look at my longer hand,It points to the minutes, you understand.”
“Look at my longer hand,
It points to the minutes, you understand.”
The School Room Clock went on talking.
“I point to six, with my short hand,The long hand’s at twelve you understand,It is six o’clock, it is six o’clock,And time for supper, like as not.”
“I point to six, with my short hand,The long hand’s at twelve you understand,It is six o’clock, it is six o’clock,And time for supper, like as not.”
“I point to six, with my short hand,The long hand’s at twelve you understand,It is six o’clock, it is six o’clock,And time for supper, like as not.”
“I point to six, with my short hand,
The long hand’s at twelve you understand,
It is six o’clock, it is six o’clock,
And time for supper, like as not.”
