Stop the Clock

The pendulum jumps back and forth I wonder if it ever gets bored Really such a regular sight Once to the left, twice to the right What if I clobber it, with a hammer Might stop the perpetual stammer Slash it’s face, with a knife Scar the second hand for life Look at me, I’m never gonna stop Oh you will, when my axe, takes a pop Always moving, forever in time Out of the blue, let’s off a chime Go away! pick on someone else That smokey candle, upon the shelf Give me a scissor, I’ll snip its wick Drink the hot wax, until I’m sick They didn’t give me any pills today Sometimes takes these voices away Cannot control, demons in my head Locked in an asylum, strapped to a bed Tube down my throat, getting forced fed Were not feeding you! oops enough said Nonsense Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: charles messina 9/11/2021

Thanks Tom, sometimes all this nonsense makes more literary sense, than stuff people swallow on the multimedia platforms, Lear would be turning in his grave, cheers David
