Teaching Time
The little hand, the big hand,
The numbers all o'clock;
The way the seconds move
With every tick and every tock.
Explaining the positions
Showing 30 on its face,
A knowledge that no digit-flashing
Timepiece can replace.
I guess it's as old-fashioned
As when teaching kids to spell,
But there's value in those lessons,
Least as far as I can tell.
