What if Time Were Dead?

What if time were dead?
It fell down the stairs and hit its head.

If it weren’t for the Greeks around 320 B.C.,
We wouldn’t have our water clock, as you can see.

The water clock was one of the earliest forms of time
It was not totally accurate, but it worked like a chime.

And what if the sundial never saw the light of day
Or it was never invented by the Egyptians, we say.

The Sundial was made around 3500 B.C.
Two kinds were invented for you, and me.

The obelisk was one of the two kinds of clocks;
It was used for its shadow and made of granite blocks.

Around 3500 B.C. the obelisk was made
It was tall and slender and you could tell time with its shade.

The clock is a necessity for the busy lives we lead;
This is one thing that we really do need.
