621 : The Clocks

The Mag had the above illustration (image by crilleb50) as a prompt.

It reminded me of Segal’s law:

"A man with a watch knows what time it is. 

A man with two watches is never sure."

Which then morphed into a limerick:

The Clocks

The dreadful tyranny of clocks

Is worst when they travel in flocks;

With one you’re aware

Of the time it declares

But more are sure to flummox.
