Tick tock
Matthew rundle 1982 (Leongatha)
The hands on the clock stood still,
the essence of time faded,
Transfixed
He gazed at the clock
tick tock tick tock,
his eyes glued His mind racing,
tension in his body grew,
his thoughts now coming true,
tick tock tick tock,
his body twitching with anticipation,
the countdown to annihilation,
tick tock tick tock.
