Tick tick tock-

all I hear on the clock,

and I wish the time would move a little slower.

Drip drip drop-

things are filling up the pot,

it will overflow if I don’t get to stop it.

Skip skip hop-

children play outside nonstop,

and I reminisce on when I was like them.

Ding ding dong-

and its time to move along,

if I mess up now there’s no way I can fix it.

Dee Dee Dum-

I take it slowly, learning some,

and I know now it’s okay to mess up sometimes.

Skit skit scat-

and they’ll pat me on the back,

for they know failure can only drive you to be stronger.
