Clock

I bought a clock 
for fifty percent off
expecting damage it arrived 
in a pristine condition 
put together wound up 
hung on the wall 
looking handsome as ever 
keeping perfect time its 
pendulum so easily swung 
and then it chimed 
like a bell tower 
with a sore throat 
and an hour off
one at two two
at three then I 
knew that the little 
clock was perfect we’re 
both a little off
and considered damaged goods 
welcome home my friend
