The Death of the Cog |
Oh, Mr. Hamilton, what have you done? |
Look at this terrible trend you’ve begun! |
You make me sick, you contemptible dog, |
I blame you for the death of the cog! |
Clocks used to be such magnificent things |
Beautiful sprockets and dazzling springs |
But you gave the people your digital beast |
And in turn now all gears are deceased |
How things have changed from when I was a boy! |
Clockwork would tick and would bring me much joy |
But, with your advent, there’s no need to wind-- |
Everything charming has been left behind! |
Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend |
Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene! |
I was a lover of gears great and small |
They all were my friends and you’ve murdered them all! |
Aaaahhh… |
How could a person commit such a crime-- |
To murder immaculate keepers of time? |
Why should a person so foul get away? |
Hamilton, you’re gonna pay! |
So, Mr. Hamilton, just watch your back |
Hide all those digital clocks on your rack |
They’ll soon end up smashed to bits in a bog |
Because you, you, you, you, YOU |
Caused the DEATH OF THE COG! |
Aaaahhh… |
