Tick Toc

Tick tock, tick tock, tick, time ticks tirelessly, tick. Tricking trance’ers, testing too. Touching tenderly, thoughts, tick. Takes time to think, take time, tick. Try to transcend to the tested table tops. Tinker, tickle, take the time-tested transitions, Transcribed testimonials, tear touched, the trials, Tribulations, telling tales, traditions, trepidations. Treacherous, the track, turns to terror, tripping traps, Taking time, the torture, the terseness, The time taken, time the teacher, taunting. Takes time to think, to thwart this teasing Time taker, tick-tocking, tick-tocking. Troubling, twisting thoughts that truth testified, Tangible the ticker, to touch, to trash, tick tock, Tick toc… trashed!
