A perplexing question was on my mind.
Why are there 24 hours a day?
I get why they all are that length of time,
but why is it divided up that way?
Was dividing by 6 just cool back then?
Or were thirty degree angles the thing?
Does anyone know how or why or when?
Was it declared by a twelve fingered king?
There must be an answer; why all this fuss?
To whom could I turn? or where could I go?
Were those who made it just messing with us?
I Googled because I just had to know!
The Egyptians grandfathered the clock's face,
because they liked to count with a twelve base
