Tick


Tick tocs of clocks tick tick toc toc 

This is one of things that make me tick

The crackle crack of the knuckles  of  those next to me

Another thing that makes me tick

The blabering blabber of the one across the room

How they make me tick

The loud chewing chews of the persons gum

How can I bear not to tick

The clickity click of the pen next to me 

The tick tocs of the clocks 

The crackle cracks of knuckles

The blabering blabber

The loud chewing chews

And the clickinty clicks

Tick toc, crackle crack, blabering blabber, chewing chew, clickity clicks

Oh how they make me TICK
