Clocks, Locks And Socks comical poem 66 by Angela Lansbury
I yawn - put clock faces away
I'll treat late afternoon like night
I shrug, put watch and phone away
Later I'll turn night into day
Forced to get up when nature calls
I see it's three, it's not yet light
That's how I guess that it's still night
Don't turn on lights, just hold the walls
I feel awake, go back to bed
Silk pillow's waiting for my head
I yawn and sigh, kick off my socks
I know it's night, I don't need clocks
I yawn and sigh and sigh and yawn
Can't sleep - yet suddenly it's dawn
I turn over, then check the clocks
I've overslept, that is a shock
I hear the bell, I hear loud knocks
I find my shoes, hunt, seek my socks
Unlock, Parcels. I sign, re-lock
Not yet mid-day! Good news from clocks!
It's getting late, I'm short of time
Sorry, I must re-use old rhyme
No-one's ignored me if they mock
I've won more time, beaten the clock.
