Teenagers demand I tick faster; adults beg for me to tock slower.
Being a clock is a thankless job. I work all day, every day and I never sweat.
I quit. Without me, they’ll miss tests and meetings, burn their food.
They’ll learn to appreciate the time I give them.

I like this — POV from a clock and how it feel under appreciated.
Cute… I can hear it!
Go on “strike”, but you’ll still be working twice a day!
Made me smile – very good!
I agree with the clock. It’s about time!
