My Grandfather’s Clock by Henry Clay Work My grandfather's clock Was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor; It was taller by half Than the old man himself, Though it weighed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn Of the day that he was born, It was always his treasure 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, It stopped short Never to go again, When the old man died.

My Aunt Came Back My aunt came back from old Japan And she brought with her a big hand fan. My aunt came back from Holland, too, And she brought with her a wooden shoe. My aunt came back from the New York Fair And she brought with her a rocking chair.
