Tick-Tock Pronouns

Big Ben is a clock tower
Now and then it needs winding up,
so up he goes to the clock
a little man with a big key.

In 2013 Ben underwent a sex change
he is now called the 'Elizabeth Tower'
it's a cultural transgender Icon now.

When the little man winds her up
she goes off.
Sex is timeless.
