The Time:Night

The number's the name
is the number of discoveries
and their discoverers
The buoy's, the rope
is the marker
It's always the lightest
before it gets darker
It could be a hand, leg, or body
It could be the brain behaving badly

What's worse than a dog on a short run?
A dog on a long one...
Or a man dressed as a dog?
Whats worse than a man in a chimney?
The smoke in the chimney...
Or the smoke dressed as a fog?

What's worse than a dog on a short run?
A dog on a long one
A man enmired in a bog.
