The Wee Hours

  
     According to my dictionary
        here is the definition of ‘wee’
     ‘Little, small, tiny, miniature’
       --not ‘early,’ to be sure

     Yet one o’clock, 2:00, 3:00 a.m.
          are ‘the wee hours’
     What should they be in the p.m?

I love your playful curiosity! Turning language on its head like this makes us see familiar words in a whole new light.
