It seems he wouldn't have the problem had he but a 24 hour display, huh? 
Nice going...

 Knowing Where You Are

   One time a clock said midnight,
   or else it said noon--we were in a cave
   and couldn't be sure. And it was on an island--
   at least, I think it was.

   Is there any way in a cave like that
   to know if it is midnight?
   It's the same old number, no matter
   what you say, so what difference does it make?

   And if an island moves is it the same
   island but in a new place?
   If I moved away I wouldn't change
   more than I had to.

   So if anyone asks, I always
   just say, "Noon."
