The Mystery Hour

What's going on, what can it mean,

   Is it some kind of sign?

Just now the church bells struck thirteen

  And it's only half past nine.

 

The hour hand twitched, the minute hand twirled

  The dial began to rock,

Is this the start of the end of the world...

  Or is something wrong with the clock?

◄ What the...?

How Droll ►

One of my daily roles when I was verger at Selby Abbey was to scale the tower and wind up the clock. There were three winders governing the clock itself and bells.
My money’s on the clock being wrong, Branwell.

There are over-reactions, and conspiracy theories, but often there is a simple answer to odd events. Good one Branwell.
