The Village clock

The Village Clock

by John in Cornwall

Jackie...

I like it John, great!

Hmmm.I can see now...John......How are you doing back in the quiet Cornwell
area of England ?

The Village clock rang out three times

And all the village knew

That the clock was on the blink

And it was only half past two…..

Thomas Morton Thompson

(The vicar of the place)

Shook his head and said in shame

“Its nought but a disgrace”

I have a baby’s head to wet…

A Girl to be a bride….

A thousand Pound’s to fix the Clock?

Oh lord with me - abide……

The Roof is leaking Water….

It drips upon the floor…

Vandals steal our Silver

So we have to lock the Door…..

They break our windows – Steal our Brass

I can’t take too much more…..

Should I wed the girl at half past one?

Instead of half past two…

Baptise the child at half past three

Or was it a Quarter to?

And evensong – what time for that?

Was it six or half past seven?

Will someone fix our Village clock ….

Ohh my dear - - good Heavens!!!!

The Village clock rang out just once

As though it was in pain

England...His name is Simon Smith.....He used to write Poetry and was very

How come it is the same poem ?

A hollow – empty – final toll….

And it never rang again…….
