    The Clock

     

    The Clock!

    The Clock!

    The Irritating

    Ticktock!

     

    It tells you when to eat lunch

    It tells you when to awake

    It tells you time for bed

    Like a god you cannot forsake

     

    The Clock!

    The Clock!

    The Consuming

    Ticktock!

     

    When I retire

    I'll take off my watch

    And say , “leave me be”

    you irrelevant ticktock

     

    The Clock!

    The Clock!

    The Drowning

    Of the ticktock!

     

    Man used to rise

    By the sun alone

    And lie down when

    Darkness was shown

     

    The Clock!

    The Clock!

    The Damnable

    Ticktock!

     

    The clock is not a tool

    But the master of slaves

    That makes men appoint

    Their time into graves.

     

    The Clock!

    The Clock!

    The Clicking

    Of the ticktock!

     

    The Clock!

    One day will be not.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
