My Grandfather's Clock

My grandfather's clock was too big for the shelf

So it stood ninety years on the floor,

It was taller by half than the old man himself,

Yet it weighed not a pennyweight more.

It was bought on the morn on the day he was born

It was always his treasure and pride,

But it stopped, short, never to go again,

When my grandfather died.
