The wizened old man of Wizpuri Dock Had lifted hs eyes to his grandfather's clock He gazed with a smile.... and pondered a while, Then shook his grey fist at the great wooden block He came "fourth in the mile", but hindered a while For now he was old and decrepid and vile Not a smile had he dared, for those who had stared As he hobbled along from Wizpuri Dock He grasped his last breath, as he forcast his death For the time he had guessed was more than his best In time he had called for man and his lord But dithered and croaked as he suffered a stroke Fell to his old feet all laden with grief Frail and defeated or like a bloated graffitist He looked at the time, hence grappled a smile As he groveled and choked all bewildered and broke He fell on his back that had tumbled and cracked And gazed at the clock from Wizpuri Dock The clock it had struck...... without even a cluck As the wiizened old man lay dead as a duck Had he strived back in time and altered it's chime? Then would he have died as he gazed at the time? All tightened and torqued despite that he was short Like the clock on the wall that cheated his fall To alter it's chime from the clement of time? That man should stay tall despite his great fall Is to kindle the lines of the face on the dial? As to tell it stop by a man at the dock To lay dead at it's heel at Wizpuri Dock! But.... suffer the men who looks ill at their clock! As nothing will move, and all is still as a rock! From ghosts that are born....from Wizpuri Dock. |

As grand a tale as any, and much the smile and glimmer within, Bloodline |

I loved the story-line & the moral, but my favorite part has to be its grand 'read aloud quotient"--extremely high, indeed |

Just to show that 'time' rules our destiny. Although real....very abstract. George |
