The Grandfather's clock
Back in 1977 I was lay'd up with the paw, and had a lot of time on the mind.
So I got to taking off all the porch paint that was on the old clock.
Looked pretty plain actually no real design at all.
I counted 20 coats by the time I got it off.

Then came the job of picking all the pitch the had filled the wood engraving.
This old clock had seen better days the works were so black, greasy from the decades of Kitchen's heat, grease, the wood stove just a few feet away.

I got all cleaned up except for the actual face, stencil on the glass was redone.
I dug it out of the storage yesterday, as it's been there probably now for a decade, and it just needs some love shown to it once again.

Most definitely it needs to be admired and not hidden in storage!
 

It was a 1st-and last.
Not my itch kind of thing.
Rather find the real thing, not that the finds weren't real.
But it was too easy🤣
I find myself looking up more and more to you and crash, pepper. Then I step back and say, "them skallywags ran off with poor wannadig's rum and left her high and dry. I could not do that to a team mate, knowing someone had witnessed me receiving the rum."

To have you know you low down Skally wagging sea dog.
I have never made off with a woman's rim before.
Helped with the rum, but never stooped so low in taking her rim.
