GRANDMA'S CLOCK It stands in the corner of Grandmas room. From the ceiling it reaches the floor. "Tick, tock," it keeps saying the whole day long, -"Tick tock," and nothing more. Grandma says the clock is old like herself, But dear Grandma is wrinkled and gray, While the face of the clock i3 smooth as my hand, And painted with flowers sa gay. Backwards and forwards, this way and that, You can see the big pendulum rock, "Tick tock," it keeps saying the whole day long, "Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock." The clock never sleeps and its hands never rest, As they clowly go moving around, And it strikes the hours with a ding, ding, ding, Ding, ding, and a whirring sound. I wonder if this is the same old clock That the mousie ran up in the night,
