Clocks

There are clock of all shapes and sizes, 
Clocks that are given as prizes,
Clocks that hold surprises,
Clocks that are collected by misers.

There are clocks slow to unwind,
Clocks that can withstand the wind
Clocks that readily spring to mind.

There are clocks that regulate,
Clocks that articulate, 
Clocks without a date,
Clocks we use to decorate.

Clocks that are second to none,
Clocks that tell us when our work is done,
Clocks that stand all alone.

But there is one clock we should pay more attention to,
Your body clock is made especially for you,
And if you want to keep doing what you do,
Then it is time you listened to what it is asking of you.

Definitely very keen attention about different clocks and their necessity.... Clocks collected by misers! Certainly very well thought of all clocks and biological clock which reminds us the connection between the nature and us! Very well done...

What amazes me is the number of inaccurate give the technology. Tips are full of clocks thrown out because they don't keep proper time. Also we have nice miniature clock can no longer get batteries for. Regards David

Our body clock is the one that will tell us when we are heading in the wrong direction, we should pay attention to its tick tock, and alter our habits and ways before its too late. Wise words David, Blessings, Jennifer.

Enjoyed writing this one. I try to mix them up and have fun wit the words. It amuses me how may clocks nowadays do not keep correct time when when we have the technology.. A lot to be said for the old wind up clocks. Cheers David.
