ObSongs: When I was little, I mastered the hour hand on the clock somewhat before penetrating the mysteries of the minute hand. Thus, if the hour hand was pointing at 3, I could tell it was 3 o'clock, but if it was not pointing at any number, I did not know what to say. I solved that problem by choosing a special name for those odd times: clementime, which I had heard about in the song, "Oh, my darling clementime".
