When my grandson would come over to our place, he’s so amazed by the cuckoo clock. It would bring back the memories of my grandmother I was very close to growing up. (From my archives)
Cuckoo Bird Where Did You Go?
Tis a happy day for me
Off to Gramps house to play you see
Tis one thing I don't understand
Little black house with a little white hand
Every time, when the cuckoo comes out
I run behind the living room couch
That little cuckoo bird hid back in
Gramps! Darn! I miss him again?
To see him, I have to be quick as a hick-up
Wait 'til the big hand points straight up
Finally I get to see him, little bird I'd heard before
He came out on his perch, then slammed the door
When I go to Gramps and hear the tick-tock
I see the cuckoo bird I love so much
Up there on the wall
In his big black clock…
