Twelve 0’clock midnight,
does Cinderella really
turn into a pumpkin?
Midnight –
is that really when the
lights went out in Georgia?
Midnight – and the
gas stations stop
fueling – Why?
Twelve O’clock and
all is well – and yet…
Twelve O’clock midnight
a time
you never want to hear
an Ambulance Siren.
Midnight, the witching hour
or a way to keep the
peace and everyone in
their homes.
Midnight – twelve o’clock
and the balls chime 12
the little hand and the big hand
meet and overlap,
the calendar looses a page,
and the sleeping millions
gain another day.
