Poem.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock,
Sounds I hear from the clock,
Round and round, it continues to go,
Seems to go on forever, as you know,

Round, square, all shapes seem to be,
Little lines, big numbers, for you to see,
Clicks, Clicks, Clicks, my head starts to shout,
Infinity of numbers, there is no doubt,

Batteries, cords, music, and CD’s,
Cassettes too, oh golly, oh geez,
So many tick tocks I have seen,
Store full of clocks would turn me green,

Wrist, neck, and even pocket watch too,
Alarms go Ding Dong to even wake you,
My thoughts now begin to wonder away,
Hearing that click, click, clicking sound all day…

I’d never make it in a clock store–ticking makes me crazy. Good poem–just the way I feel around clocks.

Did you work in a clock shop when you wrote this? LOL

This was pure madness. I thought of a clock maker going insane by his own creations. You could create a very funny character from this.

Thanks for the nice comments.
@ Bill, no was not working in clock shop, but all these things just overfilled my head as if was that day. LOL
@ Allison Jae, that is a good idea, I just might work on it this week and see what happens.
Have a wonderful Sunday, Everyone
