Pretty Neat - Nursery Rhyme

a face
two hands
a couple of feet
think about that
pretty neat
a clock
keeps time
without 
a brain ~
when we're late
Who's to blame

Thank you so much, Connie. I'm glad that I went with your tip. So many others have confirmed that you were right. (Even if the placements actually are in order of 'one-ness.'). Happiness and Joy, Gershon

Neat how the clock has some of the same parts that we have. As someone who's prone to running late, I blame the clock.

Well, as you can see, I've entered the poem per your instincts, and it earned a first-place trophy, albeit down the list most of the way. No complaints here. Thanks again for the tip, Connie! Happy Weekend, Gershon
