There was once a Swiss clock-maker named Brachs Who specialized in making cuckoo clocks But with age he'd lost his touch He went cuckoo inasmuch Striving to keep ticks in sync with the tocks

A perfect limerick, Bob! Don't think I'd have the patience to separate the ticks from the tocks. LOL Very funny, my friend. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Carolyn

G'day Bob ... I dare say one would hypnotize themselves concentration on the face of a grandfather clock going tick and then tock - very witty limerick indeed Bob - Lindsay

Thank you Lindsay. I had a couple of cuckoo clocks that drove me daft and later gave them to my grandkids to drive their mum and dad daft! Always enjoy your very splendid writes and your kind comments -Bob
