I bought a time clock
And put it in my house
And I punch in and out
At various times through the day

In the morning I wake up and shower
And then take my card and punch in
And then I make my breakfast
Get dressed and go out for a walk

Then I play tennis and then maybe I write a comic book
Then in the late afternoon, I punch out

Go out and eat some popcorn
While I’m seeing a moive
Come home and punch in my time card
And then call my friends down in Texas

It’s good to have a time clock
Installed on the wall of your house
I punch in whenever I want to
And punch out when it feels right

Sometimes I forget to punch in, before I start reading
reading or kissing someone
Then I go back and write in the time,
and beside it I write my initials

I’m happy with my time clock
That I have in my house
I punch in and out
At various times through the day
