Poem Title:
Poem
On a spotty, sprinkled day, at the Plott's house on the block, A squatty Uncle Scotty had sent a polka dotted, cuckoo clock! The family said "That's handy!", and found a spot upon a shelf For the dandy, new Swiss timepiece,...next to toddy mix and tea pots! While Mommy Plott washed all her pots, Daddy Plott worked in the yard The children, too, were caught worn out, after swatting flies so hard By the twilight of the evening, they were worn, like pennies spent Supping lentils, corn and pintos, ...then, up stairs they gladly went Daddy Plott turned out the lights, falling, plop, right into bed But bolted up with such a jolt!!...loud "CUCKOOS!!" hurt his head!! The brand-new clock, made such a noise, his nerves hung by a thread ! That yoddling bird, that could be heard, might wake the neighborhood! It popped out every hour, and the sour house would shake With a hollering "CUCKOO' voice....with an awful racket made! They covered it with pillows...and took it from the room But the "CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO" could be heard...from even the moon!! They would just doze off, fall fast asleep, and think that it was done.... But when the hands said Next O'Clock......it would cluck out lots more fun!! One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock...four....!! The poor little bird, with his voice getting sore.... Saying 'cuckoo', ....'Cuckoo'......"CUCKOO!!!" again !!! So Daddy took out the tick...........then he took out the tock Then he defrocked little birdy.....so that he couldn't talk Now it sits on a shelf.....in the house at the Plott's Even the clock's little birdy.....can sleep like a rock!
