Naughty me, forgive the jest,
My magic watch won’t let me rest.
It whispers secrets, sly and sweet,
Of what you wear beneath the sheet.
Yet strange—it tells me none at all,
Perhaps it runs ten minutes tall.
So shall we dance, my daring catch,
To the ticking of my watch
Or let my heart set out the beat,
Where time and reason both retreat?
For both, I swear, make madness true,
And both, my love, now point to you.
