The Clockmaker

There was a man who made the clocks

Tick and tock and tock and tick.

But on the hour he never could

Make them as they should

Chime together a perfect chime.

Then came the day the old man died

And found in heaven not one tick nor single tock

Nor any hand on any clock.

In heaven you see, there is no time.

Alas! Alas no perfect chime

For the boasting craftsman Tick Tock man.
