The Secret Thoughts of a Clock

Tick tock the clock is speaking,
"Don't look now for time is creeping to
the distant shadowed
shores which hasten
near like neglected chores."
Tick tock the clock is chanting
"Don't ignore my
dismal ranting which
proclaims annoyance
sublime as harbinger of slipping
time."
