Tick Tock

Tick tock goes the clock

And what now shall we play?

Tick tock goes the clock

Now summer's gone away.

Tick tock goes the clock

And what then shall we see?

Tick tock until the day

That thou shall marry me

Tick tock goes the clock

And all the years they fly.

Tick tock goes the clock

You and I must die.

Tick tock goes the clock

We laughed at fate and mourned her

Tick tock goes the clock

Even for the Doctor

Tick tock goes the clock

He cradled her and rocked her

Tick tock goes the clock 

Even for the Doctor

You are creeped out yet?!? Nursery rhythms tend to do that sometimes. I will admit I'm glad my mother never read that nursery rhythm to me. I had my first encounter with this little rhythm on the British TV series Doctor Who. Because of copyright laws, I can't show you any Doctor Who clips. But seriously go watch it. The basic premise of Doctor Who is that the Doctor is a time and space traveling alien called a Time Lord. He travels the universe in search of adventure and tries to save everyone because he once couldn't save everyone. Plus there are beautiful people with British accents!!

April First is coming

Tick tock goes the clock

Even for the Legislature

April 1st the deadline mandated by state law for the Oklahoma Legislature to have a budget for common education in place. The problem is they have only met that deadline once. My friend and fellow #oklaed blogger explained this brilliantly on his blog View from the Edge, seriously go read it!

April First is coming

Tick tock goes the clock

Even for the Legislature

So what have these guys been doing with their time instead of working on a budget? Let's see: there was legislation the would put the Ten Commandments back on the Capitol despite the state voting against it in a State Question in November. They debated for two hours about a law related to bears. They tried to pass voucher legislation, and they spent some time on abortion bills that will be stuck down unconstitutional in a heartbeat. Well, ain't that special. Thank you goes the Democratic caucus that put forth a budget idea! Now, will it get approved? Will the Republicans have one? Will it get finalized by April 1st?

You're running out of time

Tick tock goes the clock

Not that you cared anyways
