WHAT THE CLOCK SAYS.



TICK," the clock says, "tick, tick, tick! 

  What you have to do, do quick.

Time is gliding fast away;

Let us act, and act today.

"If your lesson you would get, 

Do it now, and do not fret; 

That alone is hearty fun 

Which comes after duty done.

"When your mother says, 'Obey,' 

Do not loiter, do not stay; 

Wait not for another tick, 

What you have to do, do quick! "
