Notice given here
Written for this one time sake
It’s not yours alone
Do not take this space for granted
Share in twos’ given to chance
And see if time is allotted!

COGED WHEELS! © TANKA 57577
Mounting cogs grasp time
A Sprocket wheel turns about
No lost hours inside
Ticking sounds coming alive
Giving ‘rights’ to time split lines!

WHEELS AND COGS! © TANKA 57577
Interlocked ‘tables’ set
Seconds, minutes, hours ‘taken’
Timed feedings correct
When wheeled settings are cog-fitted
Catching time on the dotted line!

SECONDS, MINUTES, TO HOURS © TANKA
Seconds into hours
Interlocking work inside
Ticks a correct beat
Forever telling us to wake
Sleep, eat, play and be merry!
