Three brothers (Posted on 2005-12-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon.
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on.
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace.
The youngest runs just like the wind,
A-speeding through the race.
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."

Fat and short would be the hour hand
Tall and slim is the minute hand
The third brother is second, in a way, he is the second hand.
