turning back the clock a blind mind
block
a pair of hoarded old socks a frog croaks under the rock
the cry of the peacock a crow rudely mocks
a girl in a frothy frock with her hands caught
red-handed in the forbidden crock full of ticks and tocks
the defendant sits in the dock justice is ad hoc
the room is filled chock-a-bloc rows of eyes wide in shock
knock knock a hammer is breaking the lock
thoughtless feet flock pocked faces gawk
a pair of hoarded old socks a frog croaks under the rock
the cry of the peacock a crow rudely mocks
a girl in a frothy frock with her hands caught
red-handed in the forbidden crock full of ticks and tocks
the defendant sits in the dock justice is ad hoc
the room is filled chock-a-bloc rows of eyes wide in shock
knock knock a hammer is breaking the lock
thoughtless feet flock pocked faces gawk
