The Alarm Clock

The Alarm Clock can not defend itself ...

The alarm clock can’t defend itself

It’s hated by so many people

It does what it’s told and never goes wrong

Yet even as it’s obeying it’s yelled at

And sometimes even thrown at the wall

 

It can go through the day alone and silent

The most hated of thing in the Childs room

Till it is hidden beneath piles of books

Left to be forgotten in blackening gloom

 

It is relied on to keep the world on time

It is shrill ringing helps the world run right

Yet as the buzzing begins to ring

You do anything to stop the thing

 

Maybe one day the world will appreciate

The thing that makes sure it’s never late

But until that day it just can’t be helped

The alarm clock can’t defend itself.

True. I hate my alarm clock with a passion.
Poor clock.
