Insomniac

tok-Tic, tok-Tic, tok-Tic

The pendulum stick

Tic-tok, Tic-tok, Tic-tok

Perpetually rocks

tok-Tic, tok-Tic, tok-Tic

A steady click

Tic-tok, Tic-tok, Tic-tok

On Grandfather’s clock

Dong-Ding

Whiles sing

Ding-Dong

Fleeting songs

Dong-Ding

Patience brings

Ding-Dong

Awaited gongs

tok-Tic, tok-Tic, tok-Tic

Shadows slip

Tic-tok, Tic-tok, Tic-tok

Hours slog

tok-Tic, tok-Tic, tok-Tic

A drowsy trip

Tic-tok, Tic-tok, Tic-tok

A rousing jog

A ticking tide of rocking rhyme

Keyed-up tight with gears aligned

Grandfather‘s clock winds down the time

Til cuckoo calls the sun to shine
