25. Prompt: Watching the Clock

Tick and Tock

Watching the Clock

Spin 'round and 'round

With hollow sound

.

Another minute passed

Another hour amassed

Another day done

Tedious life is no fun

.

Relatives bellow

Friendships seem mellow

Enemies of the heir beware

Oh, if only he was there!

.

Chores easily suffocate

Homework really stagnates

Another day done

Tedious life is no fun

.

A midnight birthday celebration

Under-eye shadow annihilation

Presents hidden under floor boards

A secret stash, a hidden hoard

.

There's the underground government faction

But they're all talk and really no action

Prophecies hidden, friendships cloaked in lies

Shadows cast upon enemies and allies

.

(May I say for the record that I truly, truly, truly hate rhyming?)
