Big Clock
far reaching the endeavor of time
clinging to the monumental chime
our governor of time elected by big business
waking and eating and all that ends in ING
the governor big clock puts us all in shock
time to work or time to lunch
or for those with money time to brunch
time to die or fall in love
time for mating of the peaceful dove
the governor elect pleads to us all
to change big clock in the fall
to shade the day and lengthen the night
to disorient the birds that take flight
but as mercy goes and is found
once again big clock is wound
for the thing in spring is to go ahead one
to shed light on us all
reassuring the governor elect
will once again be the one we select
