Tick Tock

Tick tock goes the clock
chiming away seconds,
minutes, hours, days, years

Tick tock goes the clock
it catches me quite unawares!
Like a compliment
Or a death defying stint
like...

Tick tock goes the clock
childhood fades away
adolescence with its
prepubescence is certainly
here to stay

Tick tock goes the clock
adulthood just rounded the corner
it came so fast
and now it passed

Tick tock goes the clock
Not old age!
Oh, no!
It's the coroner...
