Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Pendulum Anomaly

There's a solar eclipse theory
That Yang and Wang did theorize,
A pendulum anomaly,
Way over my head - no surprise.
So as a solar eclipse came,
I dragged out my grandfather's clock,
With its pendulum, and did aim
It at the sun. It did tick tock.
The eclipse - all around went dark.
What would that pendulum now do?
For science I would make my mark.
Perhaps a Nobel Prize - who knew!

I will report to Yang and Wang.
My grandfather clock stopped dead - dang!
