Best Clocks Poems

(Read later stanzas for more of the humour part ; parody of politics)

I Can't think well of a democracy
if nepotism and false promises
are part and parcel of its idiosyncrasy
A system of governance can't appeal to me
if it forever stinks of the 'stinking' rich plutocracy.

The Youth:
The clock's face smirks at me.
It mocks my glare and irks me.
I roll my eyes, it grinds its gears. 
I tap my pen, it tocks and sneers,  
its minute hand a finger
that flips me off and ticks me off...
This class will never end.

Cuckoo clocks are quite ornate it is said

     But those raucous squawks we suffer with dread

          Why could not its designer

Natures fields, plains, moors, deserts, wonders rife!
Habitats alive,
where life can survive!
Why? Civilised beings murdered all life!
For personal greed!
Used slaves to set seed!
Natures plan, the survival of the fittest.
Mans plan, to remove all not of interest.

What's changed? Nothing, I fear!

We poison oceans, deplete atmosphere!
Science always knew,
Governments...

When I'm away from you, time start to freeze,
I get all cold inside, as if my heart is zero degrees,
I can not concentrate, all i can hear is tick, tock,
Everything gets motionless, even the hands upon the clock,
I try to walk around, but it's like...

Time continues to slip past.
Like a river, a never-ending stream of micro seconds passing by.
You can't slow it down.
You can't halt it.
No matter how much you try to hold it back
It is still slipping past you at exactly the same rate.
No matter how much make-up...

Certain clocks obeyed
By springing forward on their own – 
The ones on the computer
Or the TV or the phone.

But my old-fashioned watch
Required a turning of the stem
And clocks around the house
Needed assistance changing them.

Our Subaru was trickiest
Though after several tries
The dashboard showed the time
On which...

Clocks
Remind us
How fast
Our lives pass

Clocks
Throw numbers
In our faces
Seconds and minutes

Clocks
We glance at them
In the beginning of the day
And often at the end of our work day

Clocks
Always keeping track
Re-arranging our day
Without fail

Clocks
Always watching
Keeping time
Reminding us
Our constant...

Keep up with the latest news
Smart watches do more than just tell you the time
From ancient times we had clocks that were more environmentally friendly
Roosters were natural alarm clocks

It's the rooster that crows, but it's the chickens that lay the eggs
Personally I think it is...

Torn from my slumber in the early hours
by a Blackbird outside in a tree,
as it performed for us a solo dawn chorus 
as loud as can possibly be.
Now fully awake, no way could I sleep
all because of that darned noisy pest,
so I stumbled about with...

Surgery waiting room clocks move very slowly.

Pages in the books people brought with them are read over and over again without the reader ever knowing what it is they read.  Magazines are picked up and put down again without being opened.  Windows are...

Apparently, there's a God damned dog out there - according to my neighbour,
And his wife, Thelma, needs to understand this and know about the mess and understand it's consistency and have this information and keep...

their clocks tick away
I see time is running out
countdown to the grave
time leads me to be alone 
waiting for my clock to stop...

I get up early each day
to sit by my windowsill.
And enjoy a glimpse of life
before taking my first pill.

Only half awake, my dreams
drift as I try to recall.
For, although sleep postpones pain,
it quickly resumes its crawl.

My room's as small as my needs,
an efficient little box.
And...

Box
One Christmas I got a box of six clocks
Shock sent my heart all flippity-flops
Now I am watching time
Going out of my mind
To find some sleep I keep counting tick-tocks.

Though I'm always grateful for a gift box 
I asked my friend, why a box of six...
