Someone's got to fix them, there's not too many left. You buy em and you break em. Sometimes it's a theft. But on the shelf of dusty time. There sits a broken few. Without someone to lube them up, what are we all to do.

The only ticker I need going is the one inside of me. ha ha It is fine, intricate work and you need a steady hand to do it. Nice write and hope all is well with you. love phyl soup mail

Clocks are fascinating; full of intricate inter meshed parts. Put together right they work so well, just like poetry
