Grandfather Clock
I know you love him
but if you're honest with yourselves
its become Greenwich Village obvious
that grandfather clock
is having trouble keeping time
all you need do is look
at the way his minutes quickly slip on by
there is a lot more than pride at stake
it would be sinful to look the other way
....and to all the others that hate him
the very least you can do at this point
is to not mock him anymore than you already have
karma is always a hellhound
at the throat of mockers
Grandfather clock is exhausted
his cogwheel are misaligned
so its time to finally treat him like a grandfather
not a time piece
he's payed the price for living
(as most have)
many times over.
Let the spring raindrops keep time
and we'll all call it an act of compassion
