Little Dick And The Clock

When Dicky was sick In the night, and the clock, As he listened, said 'Tick- Atty--tick-atty--tock!' He said that _it_ said, Every time it said 'Tick,' It said 'Sick,' instead, And he _heard_ it say 'Sick!' And when it said 'Tick- Atty--tick-atty--tock,' He said it said 'Sick- Atty--sick-atty--sock!' And he tried to _see_ then, But the light was too dim, Yet he _heard_ it again-- And't was _talking_ to him! And then it said 'Sick- Atty--sick-atty--sick You poor little Dick- Atty--Dick-atty--dock! Have you got the hick- Atties? Hi! send for Doc To hurry up quick Atty--quick-atty--quock, And heat a hot brick- Atty--brick-atty--brock, And rikle-ty wrap it And clickle-ty clap it Against his cold feet- Al-ty--weep-aty--eepaty-- _There_ he goes, slapit- Ty--slippaty--sleepaty!'
