Tick Tock Of The Clocks

I got all

Those old clocks

Going again

Today - synchronized -

Antique mechanical soldiers

In approximate synchrony.

They have ticked

And tocked

The lives and times

Of some old folks

Older than even I.

They are true

Faithful -

Ever willing

If you

Give them

Proper strokes

Respect

Faith

And oil.

Wonderful write! Very imaginative and creative. I like how you had done a role reversal on this one. - Like we are not watching the clock, rather, it's the clock watching us.

Nicely done. I enjoyed this one very much. Especially, they have ticked and tocked the lives of some old folks older than even I. I love the imagery that this line produces.

Yes you are right in giving them the proper respect. This is true of most things do you not think?
