 The Ministry of Clockery

 

Moonbeam Saving Time

 

Change for the sake of change – spare change? Spare change?

There must be a Ministry of Clockery

With Cratchit-y clerks drawing clocks at their desks

Supervised by a Scrooge of Clockery

 

They scriven at their screens and so change things

Chanting “Change is good” and “Progress is change”

“The more things change, all the more change for us”

And if nothing needs changing, yes it does

 

And once in a while at the Coke machine

One of the Cratchit-y clerks laughs, “Spare change?”
