The Clock Chimes Two
by Eman Ahmad
Watching the clock,waiting,waiting
Popular students around me,watching,watching
As for me,2 'o' clock I'm awaiting.
The reason I'm doing this,

Annually it happens and we dearly miss,
this generous event we're waiting for,
where we imitate the greatest war.

To show how he felt ? sometimes people have trouble ' s at home
