Conversations with a Clock II (Free verse) by morffrom
You only want to talk to me between swings, I mean I could take it if your tock and tick were just for me, trouble is you're just a tick and tock tart, dispensing your erudite wisdom for all to hear. Its not like I've got a lot of people to talk to, OK there is the web but thats not real its not the deal. There's old Jim at the paper stand he says hello, mind you he's a tart like you he says hello to everybody. That nice girl at MacDonalds always gives me a smile, but she is only after my money for Big Mac and fries, so I'm stuck with you and your promiscuous vacuity, with your tick and your tock and your tock and your tick.

Up the ladder: the doorman
Down the ladder: Little Johnie's Jihad

Very good! Funny. You're worryingly preoccupied with clocks though. You want to watch that. (Geddit? Oh ha ha). I like this very much.

It was my vote, so you need to have words with Ms Zzinnia. I only abstain if I don't like the poem.

What would happen if you changed the last line to "trick"? Too fun!
Glad not every one is so serious.

You get a much better class of conversation with a clock. What does promiscuous vacuity mean ?

Trouble is you are just a tick and tock poet tart. This made me think for the first time today. Is this idiot for real or is he trying to say something a little bit deep. I think I get it-he's lonely and he wants to make a joke of it and make himself feel better-its cathartic-so as I am not an unreasonable bastard-8/10. Try again when you have a life pal.
