Do you have trouble telling time
I find it quite confusing,
here are just a few things
that I find quite amusing.
I bought a 24 hour clock
but found it had a flaw
I took it back and told them
it has no 24.
At home I have a normal clock
but I can't understand
why the third hand on it
is called the second hand.
I am told the military
tell time in differant ways
midnight,s 2400 hours
but that's a hundred days.
Whoever thought up this idea
his logic was reversed
for no-one in their right mind
would put the second first.

Hey,
A wonderful poem with sardonic wit. Congratulations on the bountiful catch while trophy trolling with this piece. If my own piece didn't take gold, which it didn't, this one should have. I can't understand a thing about the gold winner. Word play to the point of verbal evaporation. What is 'choas' anyway?

Isn't it confusion when all things are illogical?
I haven't looked at time your way, but it's a real eye-opener. It's a nice poem with humor.
Well done and good luck!
