Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Cuckoo Clock-Maker Brachs

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

Carolyn Devonshire September 2, 2020 at 9:43 AM 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.

Lindsay Laurie August 28, 2020 at 4:25 PM 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 Robert L. Hinshaw August 28, 2020 at 5:14 PM 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
