My grandfathers clock was too tall for the shelf
so it stood ninety years on the floor, it was
taller by half than the old man himself, but it
weighed not a penny weight more. It was bought
on the morn on the day that he was born, it was
always his treasure and pride. But it stopped,
short, never to go again when the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering, (tick tock
tick tock) his life's seconds numbering (tick
tock tick) but it stopped short never to go
again, when the old man died
