Back Next She

After the Clockmaker
Has his workshop
And his Guild
What further flurry
Of effort
Need be
But
To sit down
And fix his clocks
And yet still
She builds
Expands
Widens
The workshop
And chocolate creams
The guild
Which the Clockmaker
Ought be thankful for
And
The good white witch
Grateful for what
Her magic wand
Was meant to do.
