On Track

Though the clock had no hands to tell the time
 It was  still able to number the hours
 Over the trees the sun began to climb
 As dandelions roared on the lawn, 'flagrant flowers!'

 Off to work she went, ready to catch a train
 He morning seemed to be on the right track
 On the platform she saw her coworker, Jack Crane
 He handled cases that required 'heavy lifting', good ole Jack

 They arrived at work as the bike messenger wheeled in
 He was always suitably attired
 His world was a constant spin
 Becaus obviously, he was two tired
