Lawrence Hall, HSG
Smart*ss Watch
It clings to my wrist like a faithless friend
Good fun to pal around when we met
But getting just a little tiresome with time
Unreliable in his many promises
He fails to make the appointments that we set
Or note the weather or mark activities
I dunno; maybe he’s making time with that Timex
My long-time steady who could sure tick my tock
Sweet face, delicate hands - she’d been around, but
Maybe I was wrong – I think I’ll dial her
