Tick Tock

Tick Tock,

Tick Tock,

Lifes a never ending

clock.

Set atop your headboard

stand.

there it hammers

there it stands.

Turning

time round, and

round.

till the clock

back is wound.

not your friend but

rather the latter.

the clock tick

tocks.

It has only

itself to flatter.

hands round

round they go till your time

to live must go

but it starts

for some

other fool.

for him and her

it beats anew

Tick Tock,

Tick Tock,

Lifes a

never

ending

clock.
