Grandfather's Clock

The grandfather clock was too tall for the shop

So I spent ninety years on the floor

It was taller by half than the old man himself

But it didn't weigh a penny weight more

Ninety years without crumbling tick tock tick

His life seconds numbering tick tock tick

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born

It was always his pleasure and pride

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

Yes it stopped short

Never to go again

And when the old man died
