Inspired by the 3min Write Poetry Contest (2024), sponsored by Matt Caliri.
Tick tock. Tick tock. Hurry, hurry. Chase that thought! Write it down. Be sure it rhymes. Sense is not a requirement. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Look at what I’ve just caught! Another word. Two more lines. Fame is not an aspirement. Tick TOCK. Tick TOCK. Oh my, wait! Rhyming is not on the list, so what? Should I have a do-over? TICK Tock. TICK Tock. Oops, no time for another word. No pressure, right? These words are truly absurd. TICK TOCK! TICK TOCK! Time’s up. Just my luck. Didn’t watch my tense. No sense is nonsense.
