Tik tak tok <br />Goes the old wall clock. <br />The very same old way it did before. <br />I wonder if it will do it once more. <br />After am long gone, <br />For it has been there ever since I was born. <br />It has seen my childhood, <br />All the times I’ve been through; bad and good. <br />Tak tik tok <br />Goes the tired and worn out wall clock. <br />Had it been a human being, it would talk. <br />Oh poor old wall clock, you never cease to work. <br />Indicating so many a time for us; <br />Time to wake, time to pray, time to play and time to work. <br />Old wall clock, am grateful for everything you did <br />From reminding me that it was time to eat, <br />to telling me it was time to retire to bed and sleep. <br />Tok tik tak <br />It goes forth and back. <br />Till daylight turns dark. <br />Oh dear! <br />Why’d you have to do this all year?<br /><br />Dash Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-wall-clock/
