An Antagonist is taken back when he finds a childhood toy. Is it the reason he's so evil? |
I’m almost done my clever scheme Years of hard work to reach my dream. The push of a button, pull of a lever The time has come for this perfect endeavor. I take a step back and look where I’ve come They won’t believe what lil’ ol’ me has done. I start to prepare for the very big day When I successfully take time away! Before I make my oh so very life changing action There’s a flash of color behind my evil contraption. The item was hidden in a tiny nook So naturally I go to take a look. I reach to pull the item out Let out a gasp without a doubt! In my hand I hold a sole toy That could make me smile as a boy. The toy consists of a clock With a small mouse on the dock. I feel behind to turn on its power Then set it down on my evil tower. “HIckory Dickory Dock” “The mouse ran up the clock” My eyes were so fascinated As the mouse quickly ascended. Up and up the little mouse goes And somehow I forget my woes. “The clock struck one” “The mouse ran down” “Hickory Dickory Dock” The small mouse ends up back where it started And to my memories I departed. I’m back to the party of my fifth birthday “Here! Open all your presents!” all of them say. I dig in, opening present after present Unfortunately, there’s not one I don’t resent! In all that time, I’m not having fun But I finally reach the last one. I have no idea what’s in store Just hoping it won’t be a bore. Inside is a colorful clock toy just made for fun With which I will spend hours playing under the sun! No one understood why I gave it such care So they all leave me with a judgemental stare... “Time is money!” they would all sing Yet I spent hours with the thing! Fast forward forty years And the toy is still here! It wasted all of my time In turn, I lost every dime. Time and tragedy forced me to grow old But the toy gave me a good grudge to hold. In my throat, there starts to form a lump NO! My emotions won’t screw me up! I put the toy on a shelf like a prize Only part of my past I won’t despise. I turn my head back toward my invention Once it’s started, I’ll get all the attention! The preparations are set, I literally see The last few moments when time no longer corrupts me! |
