The Bell Tower

[Keanumoreira]

Tick tock six-o-clock,

The bell-tower rings to summon the flock.

Here they come to run or walk,

The bell-tower rings through the snow of chalk.

 

Tick tock, ten past noon,

The over-seer will be here soon.

Grab your ladle and fetch that broom,

The bell-tower rings till we see the moon.

 

Tick tock, half through eight,

How-long will the wind-mill wait?

Scrub and clean every din-ner plate,

The bell-tower rings to mark the date.

 

Tick tock, mid-night’s here,

Dig those floors till they're crystal-clear.

Ready your feet, can’t you hear,

The bell-tower rings into your ear.

 

Tick tock, five till six,

Its iron hand’s about to flick.

We’re back-to-work, take your pick,

The bell-tower rings whether tired or sick.

A dancing, smiling pirate? Hmmm. Was it really that good? ;D :teehee:

Dig those floors till their crystal-clear.

 

"Their."

 

Otherwise, very nice. Your rhyming isn't forced and interruptive.

Oh damn it, I knew I forgot something. Argh, I always tell myself "You'll remember to correct it later, just keep writing", and this always happens, lol. Thanks for catching that Alias, and thank you, your opinion is welcome. :)
