Wall Clocks and Men

Men remember the wall clock,
When it is time to doors lock
Or after crows of a cock,
Cocks comparing with a clock...

Some remember hung wall clock
To fast turn up in the dock
And show they can't A Court mock...

One would locks be sparing clock,
Who delays sees as some block,
Sure to be trying a sock
After picked sounds of Tick Tock...

One soon hardens like a rock
From oftenest looks at clock
Before slides into one's smock.
