The Incomplete Autobiography of
GryEyes911

I built a little clock of glass -
All shiny new like ice.
It ticked, it tocked, around the clock.
It really sounded nice.

I built it oh! so carefully
So it wouldn't break.
I set it on the mantelpiece.
It really did look great!

But three days later, its beauty dimmed
With all the gath'ring dust.
And when I bent over to brush it off
This clock I built - I bust!
