Rock Me Around the Clock

Tick, Toc, Tick, Toc I rest in bed Listening to that constant Rhythm of the clock’s beat Patiently waiting to sleep Tick, Toc, Tick, Toc BBOOOOMMM Burst of lightning bolts, Illuminating the black dark cloudy night sky Thunders with a deafening Sonic Boom Ground jarring, Broke the silence of the night Tick, Toc, Tick Toc BBOOOOMMM Oh, please let the slumber come Frightening, startling, cracking of thunder Rain pounding on the roof Is someone angry, keeping Me from my sleeping Tick, Toc, Tick Toc BBOOOOMMM Roar of the thunder, Light flashing, descending Rain drumming on my bedroom window The sunrise has a way of sneaking up and Glancing through my bedroom window I wonder if the gods are enjoying Their game of bowling Where’s the morning dawn Tick, Toc, Tick Toc Ten till six, it’s almost time to get up The rain has finally stopped Tick, Toc, Tick Toc ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzzz Snores 1/3/2015 Contest: Rock Me Around the Clock Sponsor: Sheri Fresonke Harper
