Why do we need a clock with one hand?

OLD AGE
 
We’ve had a small decorative
ceramic clock in our kitchen for years.
Well, it’s actually a clock face
set into a kitchen scene with
the range, dresser and all
the bits and pieces of a
family kitchen, surrounding it.
 
It’s a joyful and colourful
little piece and we’ve
become very attached
to seeing it in its place.
It’s literally part of the furniture
wherever we have moved to.
 
Recently however,
during our house move,
the minute hand on the
little clock face got broken.
A clock with one hand
isn’t much use really.
 
But we didn’t throw it out.
It’s still sits in our kitchen
as it has always done.
Only now we see
the old guy differently,
for his hour hand tells us
all we need to know.
