Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

Daft- How Time Was Born

"HOW TIME WAS BORN"


         After the snow but before the flowers, 
there were days without minutes or hours-
              Clocks were invalid and watches dead, 
there was a sorcerer called Emit who led. 
      Emit was tough and rough to the bone, 
and invented the thing called the telephone. 
It was when one used such a thing it said,
                   “time shall be born from a glass of sand instead."



(Emit is "time" backwards)
