[ WP ] You wear a watch that does not work .

Telling tales of telling time, 
 
 Stared at by two bright eyes, 
 
 Ears open and mouth dropped wide, 
 
 At the sight of this watch of mine; 
 
 Young as him some time ago, 
 
 An old man with a face I know, 
 
 Passing on from his short life, 
 
 And passed on to me this watch of mine; 
 
 Time wore on me as more time passed, 
 
 I saw to the wrist where this watch sat, 
 
 The hands no longer tick, the band was thrashed, 
 
 Still on my slit wrist, sat this watch of mine; 
 
 As my time ends, yours now begins, 
 
 Only you and this watch hold on to my sins, 
 
 As my father did when it was time, 
 
 I pass on to you; this watch no longer mine.
