Broken Clocks

bykeynon314©

My broken clock’s
Hands hold steady
At 2:10.
Sure, it’s right
Twice a day,
But it is wrong
Twenty-three hours
And fifty-eight minutes.
So I call at 2:10.
Your clock works.
When I ask the time,
It is always right,
But often wrong, too.

Thanks

Good suggestion about adding PM. I debated it for a while actually, but went with the less is more approach. Thanks for commenting.

PS

I might have add "PM" to 2:10 just to add to the line a little with a sparingly used rhyme in the poem.

Nicely done in an economical understated way! I wish I had written it.
