The Clock

Funny thoughts about the clock - penned on a boring Sunday

There goes the clock

With a tick-tick-tock

They come in different shapes and sizes

Without it, there would be lot of crises 

There are 3 hands that go with a tick

But also do it without getting sick

They never misbehave

But flows always like a wave

They are 3 needle-like hands

That forms a tick-tock band

There goes the fastest one
Sure it loves to have fun

It’s fast as a bullet gun

Ah! There is the slowest and smallest snail,

Oh! How slow peaceful and calm it sails

Wow! That hand is as long as giraffe neck for the clock

But sure that it doesn’t smell like a smelly sock

Nice one Clara! Your poet's eye did a great job spotting interest in an object that I, apparently, have been taking for granted. I love the metaphors you used for each of the hands. Light-hearted, fun read. Thanks for sharing!
