Robert W Service - My Cuckoo ClockRobert W Service - My Cuckoo Clock
Work rating: Low


I bought a cuckoo clock         And glad was I To hear its tick and tock,         Its dulcet cry. But Jones, whose wife is young         And pretty too, Winced when that bird gave tongue:         Cuckoo! Cuckoo!         I have a lady friend         Whom I would wed, For dalliance should end         In bridal bed. Until the thought occurred:         Can she be true? And then I heard that bird:         Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Though ignorance is bliss         And love be blind, Faithless may be the kiss         Of womankind. So now sweet echoes mock         My wish to woo: Confound that cursed clock!         Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
