It is twelve o’ clock -
Cinderella’s time.
She has to go.
It’s of the hour, again.
Little Red Riding Hood
meets the wolf
at four o’ clock.
It’s of the hour, again.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
lets down her hair
at one o’ clock.
It’s of the hour, again.
When mother stops telling me stories
And I stop listening,
It’s nine o’ clock
and it’s of the hour, again.
