They attacked my clock !

They attacked my clock.
My time piece.
They attacked my time.
It was an assault on my time.
For some reason my clock showed
That I didn't squander away my time
As I usually do.
I grew suspicious.
The time just stopped at 4 o'clock.

They did it.
It was a planned attack.
They were hiding in the clock.
When I knew who they were,
I shook and rattled the clock.

They were the ants.
I don't know what their business was in my clock.
They just planned an attack.
The ants !
Now I see them coming out.
I guess the assault is over.
