THE TIME-BROOD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: I WONDER HOW THE MOTHER-HOUR
Last Line: IN AGE AND SIZE AND GENDER.
Subject(s): TIME;
I wonder how the mother-Hour
Can feed each hungry Minute,
And see that every one of them
Gets sixty seconds in it;
And whether, when she goes abroad,
She knows which ones attend her;
For all of them are just alike
In age and size and gender.
