An experiment in verse

Lost To Time

What will become of the clockwork dogs, the chocolate frogs,

The men who always dance in clogs? What will become of them?

How will they feed the hungry child, the beast so wild,

The meek and mild? What will become of them?

Who will now heed the call to arms, with horns, alarms,

The war machine will empty farms. What will become of them?

What will become of them?
