Tick Tock Let’s Wind Up The Clock
![9802F15F-2479-4080-B21B-D62B6DDE0C21.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUeL62F1ti3ZKZbPQjuZYydtNgdwYKNSSXdQEYs49Y5rw/9802F15F-2479-4080-B21B-D62B6DDE0C21.jpeg)

My first thought in seeing the today’s prompt  ‘Tick Tock’ was the nursery rhyme:

Tick Tock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
Tick Tock
The mouse ran down.

But as I typed  this I realized it was not Tick  Tock but ‘Hickory Dickey Dock‘ the mouse ran up the clock.

In my defence, the clocks  in those days must have went tick tock at some point. After all the little ditty has been around for centuries. :)

With the onslaught of today’s digital equipment the tick Tocking of the old clocks has gone the way of the cuckoo bird unless one purchases a vintage clock.

I don’t miss the old alarm clocks that had to be wound each night and lulled you to sleep with their tick tocking until they needed to be wound again.  My father had one beside this bed and used it all his life.  As long as you wound them up faithfully those clocks worked for years. 

Take a look at that word ‘wound’. I’m using it as a verb to explain about winding up manually an old clock  with a key or handle but ‘wound’ can also be used as a noun means a cut or injury to living tissue.

‘Wind’ is also one of the many words in the English language that has a different meanings. One can wind a clock by turning the key or handle at the back but ‘wind ’ is also the movement of air.

@redheadpei  When I read tick tock the mouse ran up the clock, I was going on like that was the saying, lol, then I read more and was like shit this is the right saying. I remember the old wind up clocks and you could hear them tic tocking all night.  One thing about them was they would wake you up.

Yes, those old clocks were loud when the alarm went off.  Now when the hydro happens to go out for a minute, I have to reset all the digital clocks in the house,  even the one on the stove. . Not that problem with the wind up clocks. 😂

On the farm we had one of those huge old "Grandfather" clocks. Made in Germany every hour it would go "Bong, bong, bong" and it used to drive us nuts and bonkers.
Your Tick Tock ditty here is great my friend.
Blessings!

Thanks Sir Stephen. It was hard on the head when they bonged the count of each hour and  the twelve times at midnight. 😆

I'm imagining the gears for a clock that made a noise like hickory-dickory-dock would consist of a lot of very odd-shaped mechanisms.

You convinced me with your song from the beginning and I said to myself: Ah, there's a song about it! Then, when you corrected it, I was left thinking that your song sounded better. I also knew those wind-up clocks, which you mention. It seems that the intention of those who produced sound was that we should be very aware of the passage of time.
Greetings and blessings, @redheadpei!

Hi @zeleiracordero. Yes, I think hearing those old clocks tick tocking did make us aware of each minute. 😊
