there's no stopping life's clock

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

hickory dickory dock
there's no stopping life's clock
as darkness turns to day
we witness life's decay

hickory dickory dock
our lives ruled by a clock
tick tick tock everyday
time has final say

Hickory Dickory dock
I hate this freaking clock
make time go away
we need more time to play

Hickory dickory dock
I threw away my clock
in the same bag
as my age
the sagging skin
and wiry greys

Hickory dickory dock
my new best friend Botox
told me there is a way
to beat the enemy age

Hickory dickory dock
no measuring time
without my clock
same thing everyday
grows boring without change

Hickory dickory dock
I wish I had a clock
same thing everyday
longing for decay
forever I stay the same
it's driving me insane
I long for the grace of age
Hickory Dickory Dock

LOL! Fun read...and so true. Yeah, that new friend Botox sounds pretty scary when one considers the price paid for less wrinkles.
