Tock
Tock
Dripping tap
Like ticking clocks
It never stops
Tock
Time elapsed
From itching spots
To chicken pox
Tock
The world collapsed...

chuckleworthy aint the word... but it fits the moment so bloomin well so is gonna have to do..... Nice one.... N
These droll lines sum up the dire situation so well Andrew. Thanks for your thoughts on world issues today.
Sounds like a clock with the 'tick' hand missing - or the second hand missing?!
The ghastly line of that nursery rhyme too, in 'Ring o' Roses':'Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down' - dead!
Very clever poem! The use of the ticking clock, of which we often put to the back of our minds and stop hearing, to represent the quickening downfall of the world is very clever indeed.

Super work and so original in composition
Nice!
Tick.
I had to put that in as it seemed to be missing Andrew.
Andy.
So many itching spots in the world today. But here we go again ignoring the warning signs, as always.
Great final line to make one think.
