On the counter in the kitchen sat the clock
Wooden frame and large round dial
Large numbers in vivid black
Arrows point to the numbers for the time
The clock chimed the hours and half hours
Melodic throughout the olde house
I remember waking at night,the house dark
The clock chiming one, three or four bells
More than four bells and you heard movement
Grandma and Grandpa starting their day
Grandma to get things ready for everyone
Grandpa ready to head for the cattle ranch
Strange, today, this memory jumped forward
I was watching "Home Improvement" and the
episode is about an old family clock
My family olde clock memories are sooo olde
On the counter in the kitchen sat the clock
