Clock Watching |
My love is due about twelve, Clock-watching since a half past nine, No clock in the house has escaped my gaze, Clock-watching all of the time, Every hour lasts eternally, Clock-watching every minute of the day, Nothing can go fast enough, Clock-watching the time away, Upon the very stroke of midday, Clock-watching but a few seconds apart, My love phones to say she's on her way, Clock-watching the seconds tick away, Frantic preparations get underway, Clock-watching till she arrives, Ten minutes away - is everything ok? Clock-watching one clock ceases to suffice, Anticipation far to much to work, Clock-watching nothing to do but wait, Sanity begins to give way, Clock-watching this poem begins to flow, At last she is here! Clock-watching no more. |
