James Whitcomb Riley - Little Dick And The ClockJames Whitcomb Riley - Little Dick And The Clock
Work rating: Low


When Dicky was sick     In the night, and the clock,   As he listened, said "Tick-     Atty--tick-atty--tock!"   He said that _it_ said,     Every time it said "Tick,"   It said "Sick," instead,     And he _heard_ it say "Sick!"   And when it said "Tick-     Atty--tick-atty--tock,"   He said it said "Sick-     Atty--sick-atty--sock!"   And he tried to _see_ then,     But the light was too dim,   Yet he _heard_ it again--     And`t was _talking_ to him!   And then it said "Sick-     Atty--sick-atty--sick   You poor little Dick-     Atty--Dick-atty--dock!   Have you got the hick-     Atties? Hi! send for Doc   To hurry up quick     Atty--quick-atty--quock,   And heat a hot brick-     Atty--brick-atty--brock,   And rikle-ty wrap it   And clickle-ty clap it     Against his cold feet-       Al-ty--weep-aty--eepaty--   _There_ he goes, slapit-     Ty--slippaty--sleepaty!"
