To The Clock Upon The Wall

You get the hands of time
around the throat,
and you say, "Listen here
Mr. Hands of Time,"
you need to slow down:
"I am getting old, too fast."
And Mr. is really scared;
he'll promise you anything
just to get your hands off
of him, so he does, and you
let go of him. What time is it now?
