Terrified of Pink Clocks

I am terrified of pink clocks
magnified with blue striped locks
they are crude and meanly loud
some are also big and proud
stay away, you bad pink clocks
my cousin is one, he simply mocks

nightmare dream of pink clocks
truth be told, mine seldom rocks
one on my wall is pushy and mean
worse, she has the wildest scream
if you are into pink clocks
I must tell you some eat socks.
And cause your id to go insane,
Throw nightmares into your brain


I am not a fan in the least of pink clocks
One was in my room with my childhood frocks.
if you think you know about pink clocks
You have not met one, with its ticks and tocks.
bossy and thick, and a mind of their own.
pink clocks are bad as children, but worse when grown.

So, honey, eat your veggies and Velcro your shoes,
Avoid pink clocks, or you will be the one to lose.

Hmm..speaking metaphorically perhaps. The clock reminds me of Peter Pan...Hook’s obsession...perhaps he is a relation of yours? Just ribbing you!

So cool, Caren! My mom’s cousins would put plays on for them while the prettily dressed twins (mom and her sister) would look on. Heard this a few years back!

I have Peter Pan canvases all over my house with slogans from The Disney Peter Pan movie, and when I was about 8 my twin and I gave plays to the neighbor kids and I was Hook and Peter as my prissy sister would only be Wendy.

For some reason this reminded me of the song "Pink Elephants on Parade"! (Look out! Look out!) hahahaha

I wish I HAD one. I thought it up and liked the idea instantly.
