Anecdote of the Clock

   I placed a clock in the gymnasee,
   And caged it was, upon a wall.
   It made the slovenly audience
   Surround that wall.

   The audience rose up to it,
   And sprawled around, no longer wild.
   The clock was caged upon the wall
   And ticked with a tock upon the air.

   It incarcerated time every where.
   The clock was gray and bare.
   It did not give of ball or net,
   Like nothing else in the gymnasee.

     Nicely done. I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist.

       You play me like a book – or read me like a guitar – whichever comes first.

   You could probably get a baseball in there and do some damage.

     She sang beyond the genius of the Spalding…

     No, that’s wrong. All wrong.
