Gradfather's Clock

My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half then the old man himself
Though it weighed not a penny weights more
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his pleasure and pride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the Old Man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick tock tick tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
But stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
