Cuckoo Clocks

Ticktock-ticktock
thus said the mockingbird of a clock,

baa-baa
thus said the sheep’s flock.

hoot-hoot
thus said an owl sitting on the rock

Quack-quack
thus said the mediocre duck:

Knock-knock
you’re being caricatured and bemocked
in the mockingbirds' chirping
of these cuckoo clocks.

knock-knock.
quack-quack...
ticktock-
ticktock.
