Tick tock tick tockThat tireless clock
It's only demand
Is for my hand
Is for my hand
To turn and wind
Be ever so kind
And then it will
Continue to till
The furrows of time
While I write this silly rhyme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bong bong bong
I skitter along
Closely on the floor
Zipping to a door
I can't get caught
My nerves are taut
With fear I shake
I don't dare make
The slightest noise
As it annoys
That damn cat
looking twice
For cute little mice
~~~~~~~~~~~
Fun little piece, Kathe. I enjoyed the rhyme pattern.
