Grandfather Clock
I know you love him
But if you're honest with yourselves.
It's become Greenwich Village obvious,
that grandfather clock is having trouble keeping time.
The grandfather clock is exhausted; his cogwheels are misaligned.
....and to all the others that hate him.
The very least you can do at this point is to not mock him anymore.
Karma can be a hellhound at the throat of mockers
He has paid his dues many times over
Time to put the old clock out to pasture.
Let the spring raindrops keep time.
We'll all call it the time of compassion.
