My poem today was inspired by the annual observation of “Tick Tock Day”.
Tick Tock Day is observed annually on December 29th.
Tick Tock Day is a reminder that there are only 2 days remaining in the year.
Do you have any unfinished business that needs to be done in this calendar year?
Is there something big you want to accomplish yet this year?
Now is the time to finish up as the clock is ticking!
For info on daily observances all year visit: National Day Calendar.com
A clock’s life demands,
Movement of its hands.
In a circle they must go,
Not too fast, not too slow.

(Remix of “Always in Demand”–Free Verse–dated 11-20-13)
Someone’s always watching me,
Or racing to beat me.
It seems they can’t live without me!
In the morning I wake them
When they tell me to,
Yet then they often get angry
And hit me!
People are always saying I move too fast,
Yet if I stop, they get upset!
I really don’t understand the logic of it all,
But then, I’m just a clock!
