Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Because life is cyclical
It often seems we have seen it before
Been there before
Heard it before
It often seems we have seen it before
Time repeats over and over
We have heard it before
Never knowing the beginning or ending
Time repeats over and over
Tick tock, tick tock
Never knowing the beginning or ending
Life is like the alligator who swallowed the clock
Tick tock, tick tock
The sounds are clear as he approaches
Tick tock, tick, tock
Nearer and nearer
Tick tock, tick tock
Each year we celebrate the same old holidays
Tick tock, tick tock
The year begins with New Year’s Day
Tick tock, tick tock
The year ends with New Year’s Eve
Tick tock, tick tock
The same with each day and each week
Life slips through the hourglass
The past dissolves
The future is now
Tick tock, tick tock

I really really like this piece Annell! The ongoing repetition of tick tock tick tock is hypnotic, captivating, and very ominous. You have tucked in some great rhymes throughout, even a little Disney! This is a wonderful bit of work - and Peter Pan changed this confused little 6-year-old boy’s life when I saw it in 1953... never forget it!
This was quite hypnotic with the tick-tock. Good one!
So true. In my daily routine, it seems like I've just done what I did the day before. Dizzying.
One day melts into another...good piece.
