Then one day old Tick knelt by his bed,

“I'll not be drinking, I'll pray instead.”

“I'll ask for some guidance today,” he said.

Then reached out to another to stay out of his head.

For Tickory Tock it took some time to take,

Defiant and willful, he made some mistakes.

But he kept it green, he knew the stakes,

Now he's getting a coin and eating some cake.
