I once had a clock that would start off with tock instead of tick
It got on my nerves, drove me mad got on my wick.
The quieter it was the louder it got with its tock tic, tock tick, tock
Then one day it ticked its last tock and for ever more that clock did stop
I bought a new one from that catalog shop
Now I have a new one that says tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
The silly thing is I miss that old clock.
