Absent Minded
Father time
Born of a man with eleven sisters
he was a lonely brother
he watched his father humble himself eleven times
to give away eleven brides and have his fathers name not remembered
11 sisters and the last son finally married
the last name of the man is always remembered
the queens of this rtoyalty unseen
how many relations to come?
The children of father time know there are actually 24 adults in this sceraio
all of them are married
father time' children and grandchildren equal 60
and he knows the well
There are five men
and twelve women that gave
birth to sixty children
three generations
father time had two wives and a mistress
his clock is a riddle of trying to have his name remembered and the story it tells
how people would talk about him when he walked down the streeyts urrounded by women
and few men
what they thought and the thing they would say
tick might just be a clue
theyre always round
and three hands in circles
keeping time
and at first glance of the math
its fathers time joke where he would say
" oops i did it wrong
there are too many second,
It looks perfect but actually i dont have that many children in my life,
two of them are copusins removed"
