Tick tock...

Tick tock...

How much time

Is left on your clock?

You won’t hear him coming

Or the song that he’s humming...

He’ll catch you totally by surprise

With death protruding from his eyes...


Your time is finally up

When the Reaper swings...

It’s the end of your life

When the cold alarm rings...


Tick tock...

Tick tock...

Tick tock...

Tick...

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
