Excerpt from Around the Clock With the Rounder: Dissected Into Twenty-Four Timely Segments Along One Day's Journey on Father Time's Primrose Path That Goes Round and Round HE Rounder painfully unglues one eye, Blinks at his shoes upon the mantel nigh, Then struggles to sit up within his bed Only to groan and clasp his throbbing head And curse - he's far too wise to wonder why.
