Tick, Tock

goes the clock

as I watch the arms spin 'round.

Tick, Tock

goes the clock

as the class grows loud.

Ring-Ding

goes the bell

as I dart my eyes around the room.

Ring-Ding

goes the bell

as the drums next door go BOOM!

Clack-Tap

goes my shoes

as I stroll along in the hall.

Clack-Tap

goes my shoes

as I walk in like Cinderella at the ball.

Slide-Glide

goes my chair

as I pull it out.

Slide-Glide

goes my chair

as students holler about.

Ring-Ding

goes the bell

as I dart my eyes around the room.

Ring-Ding

goes the bell

as kids next door shout "BOOM!"

I huff out a breath

and lay down my head

ready for this day to end

and hop into bed.

Minutes seem to pass,

slowly yet fast,

and kids begin to whisper.

The crowd goes wild,

way beyond mild,

and one kid starts to whimper.

Tick, Tock

goes the clock

as I watch the arms spin 'round.

Tick, Tock

goes the clock

as the kids in class grow loud.

Tick, Tock. Tick, Tock.

Tick. Tock.
