Summary: Life is governed by the time

The clock by my bed shrills to me to get up
The clock in the kitchen says I can have one more cup
The clock in the bathroom yells I lingered o’er my tea
The clock by the front door screams time I should flee

The clock in my car is still set to GMT
‘Cos changing the time is by far beyond me
The clock at the station says that all is not fine
The trains are all late for there’s leaves on the line

The clock in the office has hands which seem slow
I keep looking and longing for the time when I can go
The clock on the church tower reminds me that I’m
One amongst many, a victim of time

But now that I’m home again at my clocks I shall scoff
It’s over for ever, because, guess what, I’ve clocked off!
