Clock

Tick, Tick, Tick,

Must I listen?

Why should I?

The clock doesn’t care

Doesn’t feel

It just ticks

And ticks, and ticks


Tick, Tick, Tick

In a constant tempo

That nobody wants

Can’t it stop going forward

And try going backward?


But backward never works

It creates a never-ending misery

How about this clock?

Why don’t you just stop?

Call in sick, take a vacation, go to the dentist

Just stop

With the tick, tick, tick


Tick, tick, bang!

That’s it, the final chime

I will never get it back

Never go backward

Never just stay

Oh clock, why can’t you stay still?


Give me one time, I beg you

Be still for once, make that once a forever

But you won’t

You can’t

Because you live in a motion that can never end

And cycle you constantly repeat

Again, and again, and again


I’m going to make you a deal

Every time you tick, every bang, every cycle

Do something different each time

And I’ll do the same

You might like it

What do you say?


Cookoo! Cookoo!


I thought so
