My Watch

Sitting in my drawer, hidden away,

During the night, that’s where it’ll stay.

I watch it as the time ticks by

  and the day ends, like a rocket through the sky.

It shows me the time from Perth to LA,

I smile at 3pm everyday.

I’m ever so powerful when I change,

The hour, the second, not out of it’s range.

I wake up to the sound of my watch in the morning,

I try to ignore it but it sends me a warning, 

That I should well be on my way to school,

And not in bed, I’m such a fool!

It just sits on my wrist throughout the day,

and takes the battering when I fall during play.

I bought in from a small Malaysian store,

But it gives me the time and so much more,

Aah…the memories of mosquito galore!
