It’s twelve o’clock and Earth began last night,
She sang and danced while flying through the air.
The clocks of Earth began to turn with might,
In seven hours life began to flare.
At first with organisms single-celled,
Then jelly fish and worms came finally.
A tick tock after nine p.m. was belled,
The more complex ones shifted from the sea.
The clocks are spinning like a carousel,
The dinosaurs and mammals just appeared.
By half past ‘leven Dinos say farewell,
The last but longest second to be feared
Arrived humanity, and with its birth,
Creative thought, its toll upon the Earth
