late

Listen to poem:
To stop being late for your next appointment, set your clock 10 minutes ahead of real time. Then, when at due time, you leave your apartment, you will always arrive on time, to hear the bells chime.

John I have three wall clocks in Drawing cum Dining Hall, in Bed room And in Study. All the clocks are running 15 mins. ahead. I am more clever than you. I really enjoyed the 'Word-Play' Thanks.

It can be quite annoying for friends who have watches set to the right time!
