Gadgetclocky

 Twas Friday, and the Hackwrench lass
 Didst test and tinker through the day
 Dale and Foxglove vacated fast
 Only Chipper dared to stay

 Beware dear Chip, the Gadgetclock
 The springs that fly, the gears that strip
 Avoidest then, the weighted knock
 Or clinic bound, your fated trip

 He took his sturdy mallet in hand
 Long time he stalked with steady calm
 Then rested he, neath ceiling fan
 And considered using napalm

 And then while griping about his luck
 The Gadgetclock, with chiming bells
 Aclattering came, hands spinning amok
 Berserk in manner, a sight most fell

 One two, one two, I'll get you
 The mighty mallet swung round about
 He left it smashed, in pieces few
 And said, Gadget, it's safe to come out

 So thou hast slain the Gadgetclock
 My, that was some anomaly
 Round she looked, aghast in shock
 And finally said, Golly

 Twas Friday, and the Hackwrench lass
 Didst test and tinker through the day
 Dale and Foxglove vacated fast
  Only Chipper dared to stay
