Like A Toy

He hears an annoying tick,

 

telling him I'm broken-

 

not working properly-

 

not like the other toys.

 

I don't hear a tick,

 

I don't feel it,

 

I feel fine-

 

like the other toys.

 

He picks, and picks,

 

looking for a way to

 

fix me. But

 

I need no fixing.

 

My springs spring fine,

 

I have enough oil,

 

my screws are *******

 

Yet he picks,

 

and searches,

 

for the broken piece

 

he will never find.
