The Clocksmith Paradox

There was once a very special clock

And every day it would tick and tock

Until one night

The batteries died

And the turning hands came to a stop

Well, the clocksmith did keep batteries

And he could have switched them easily

But with the clock

All time had stopped

And the man was frozen permanently

Alas, for the clocksmith to come free

The clock would need new batteries

The moral here

Is very clear:

If you wait too long you might just freeze
