    Brought forth, my mind, my spirit, conscience and flesh and all
    Into this universe, by merit of affections made by thee
    As forebearer, Zeus as to Hephaestus, as you to me
    Echoing ancestral age's call
    
    From infant times, whenst could I not procure my own
    Through learning and advancing in my worth
    You held me high, and pushed me forth
    By song affirmative in words and tone
    
    This trust of merits, my esteem, oft besong by you
    Make these words, this moment, this request
    Become the heaviest of my behest
    Albeit an inquire I can not undo
    
    Upon my arm, as equator round our very earth
    Is bound with leather strap, and nimble lock
    A dream of time, of days, of tick and tock
    Of life, it's passage, to the grave from birth
    
    A timepiece, chroniker, a metronome, a watch
    In and of itself a wondrous thing
    And as I watch it circumnavigate it's ring
    I have but a single question, single catch
    
    When on it's surface, with extended digits laid
    With tap, with stroke, with haste, with patience and between
    Expected outcome of my action, none are seen
    And of my merits, now am I afraid
    
    I humbly ask of you, my genesis, my kin
    Am I the one who know not how to utilize
    This measurer of time, this timeless prize
    Am I unknown to functions laid within
    
    No prodding, poking, touch or stroke
    Have rendered changes visually
    And therefore I conclude I now can see
    The functions I can not provoke
    
    I utter loudly "what the fuck"
    Have you equipped it with parental lock?
