The Doomsday Clock

    The Doomsday Clock
    The Doomsday clock doesn't have to be wound
    like some  big  old time piece of yore
    and very shortly to explode  it is bound
    so it's something we must  not  ignore.

    Because  we'll all  then  be covered in blood
    as well as radioactive particles
    unless, of course, there's also a flood
    to sweep us away with our articles.

    Only three minutes left for slumbering 
    tik tok tik tok 
    a mere   180 seconds numbering
    tik tok tik tok 
    Quick! Better run from the room---
    BOOM... DOOM !

    My Grandfather's Clock
    My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
    So it stood ninety years on the floor
    It was taller by half than the old man himself
    Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
    It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
    And was always his treasure and pride
    But it stopped, short never to go again
    When the old man died
    Ninety years without slumbering
    tik, tlk, tik, tok
    His life seconds numbering
    tik, tok, tik, tok
    It stopped, short never to go again
    When the old man died
    My grandfather said that of those he could hire
    Not a servant so faithful he found
    For it wasted no time and had but one desire
    At the close of each week to be wound
