It's one minute or two to two-two.

Pure guesswork, as I hadn't seen it before:

There was a young lady of Looe
Who wanted to catch the two-two.
The clerk said: "Don't worry,
There's no need to hurry.
It's a minute or two to two-two."

Looe is the only British place name I could think of that
rhymes with "two".


Is the "two-two" a train?

Yes, I should have mentioned this, it's meant to be a train.
