How many seconds in a minute? <br />Sixty, and no more in it. <br />How many minutes in an hour? <br />Sixty for sun and shower. <br />How many hours in a day? <br />Twenty-four for work and play. <br />How many days in a week? <br />Seven both to hear and speak. <br />How many weeks in a month? <br />Four, as the swift moon runneth. <br />How many months in a year? <br />Twelve the almanack makes clear. <br />How many years in an age? <br />One hundred says the sage. <br />How many ages in time? <br />No one knows the rhyme.<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-many-seconds-in-a-minute/
