I go up when the rain comes down
I am a place where time is told. I am not bought and I am not sold. What am I?
I moan I groan I chase after you. I never seem to rest. Timeβs up for you.
My keepers feed me colored balls. With sticks they store on my den walls. Sometimes I store them in my pouch. Sometimes deep in my belly; ouch!
What can you break even if you never touch it?
Though not a plant, has leaves. Though not a beast, has spine. Though many wouldn't need this thing, It's more valuable than wine.
