When the barbecue pit is all ready and needs to be lit
If it takes 7 seconds for a clock to strike 7 o’clock, how many seconds will it take to strike 10 o’clock?
If it takes 7 seconds to hear 7 ticks of a clock, how many seconds will it take to hear 10 ticks?
Like a snake of twisted birth, Coiled ut not to strike. Hurled at men caught in the brine, Or linked up to a spike. Stops the horse that seeks to roam, Or holds a sheet out on the foam. What is it?
