Poetry: Tic & Tac

Tic & Tac - Izzati Rafiee

The clock goes
"tic" and "tac"
and the long finger
strikes the twelve
and my heart silently grins
with pom-pom and cheerleader's kit
that it's finally time
for you to again age
like the fine wine you've always been
and for that i wish you
a happiest birthday
