My grandmother’s clock

A silent tick tock, tick tock,

Nothing more to say.

****

[Author's note: I just caught up with Elli's challenge, and when I saw the prompt, I immediately thought of my inherited grandmother's clock (pictured above). It is a very old traveller's clock that her mother used. I had it restored a couple of years ago, and recently have been wrestling with it to get it set to tell the right time. It reminds me of her - always silently watching (it has no chime). and always doing things on her time.

A lady of a few words, a haiku seemed the perfect format.]

Till next time,

Calvin
