Online shopping-Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock

Travel on the sails of time
Time and tide wait for some!
A long, long time ago,
Across the seven seas,
here was a land of golden sand,
And ancient Mysteries.
It was the time of the Caribbean pirates,
And of Sindbad the mighty sailor,
Of Ulysses who had travelled all fierce waters,
And Captain Jack Sparrow, the ace pirate manipulator.

They had all the fun for an adventurous life,
They sailed across lands, with their children and wives,
But wonder how they knew kept a tap on time, for,
Without a compass it would’ve been such strife!
Then amidst the loot, one fine evening, after the feast,
When all the singing and celebrations had ceased,
They found the Battery Operated Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock,
They could tell time anytime, without looking towards the east.

Sindbad chose the red-striped Wall Clock while Sparrow took the blue,
It had ‘Welcome Aboard’ on the tube; they didn’t have to say it to their crew.
One look at their Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock and a new plan they drew,
The time was ripe to see new lands, the wind was strong, the sky clear blue.
The pirates hung the Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock on the deck,
The sailor at the steering said the seafarers were ready to go,
The minute hand of the Wall Clock struck the ‘wheel’ at 12,
And that’s when the Captain cheered, “Westward Ho!”

They went far-east, they travelled far west,
They travelled with untamable spirits and zest,
They battled the winds in the north and the south,
For days they travelled without a single moment’s rest.
Every day when the Wall Clock struck ‘lighthouse’ three,
They knew it was time for a dainty meal (all for free),
And when the Clock’s hand touched the fish at six,
They knew they would be served sweet tea.


Soon with the Battery Operated Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock,
The adventurers realised the value of time on the dot,
They decided to take a break from constant sailing,
Get down and take up a regular job at the next dock.

They joined a clock-maker, who had a large workshop in Norfolk,
Every morn at his shop, they would dedicatedly flock,
To make Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clocks from plain cloth,
The dial with the tube and the rope, they would paste and interlock.
They gave up killing and plundering seas altogether,
And sailing across mighty waters in search of hidden treasure,
The Wall Clock had made them realise the importance of time,
Which with the Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock, they could measure.

The Battery Operated Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock,
Made their lives more organised and settled,
Same guys who once for the greed of fortune,
Had with their own kin and brethren wrestled!
They taught people that time was the treasure real,
And the repent of its loss, nobody could heal.
For the seafaring plunderers, now reformed,
The Lifebuoy Shaped Wall Clock was the fortune-wheel.
