My classroom clock,

Stuck to the wall,

Staring at me –

Spinning endlessly,

Forever.

Tick, Tock,

Tick, Tock.

 

Time is eternal

And will live

Well past my days

On this earth.

My classroom clock

just wishes

It could move

To swat the fly

Crawling over its face.

 

My classroom clock

knows I’m the

only one

In this classroom

That has any use for him.

Our students have

no idea

How to tell time

Unless

it is by a digital number.
