“Tick Tock: A Steampunk Love Story”

Tick Tock ran the clock until…
Click click clackity click.
Oh hell, what made the Tick Tock stop?
Can’t see it. Can’t tell.
I only like the Tick Tock.
Bam Bam Bamity Bam I beat and knock the robot.
Clickity clack tock. I almost heard the Tick Tock.
Smash Smash Smashity Smash, I’ve broke my favorite girl.
Fix Fix Fixity Fix. Fixity Fix Fix Fix.
I worked her till I ruined it.
Now it burs and whirs.
No Tick Tock.
No Clickity Clack.
Now I have to throw the girl out and go get a clock that goes “Tick Tock!”
