Quatrains

Clock:
Black and White intertwine in my circular body
Forming different combinations of numbers 
My only company os the woman hanging on the wall 
Time keeps ticking, still no response 


Candle:
You burn me
You smell me
You melt me
All for your own pleasure.


Cat: 
If I'm orange I'm garfield
If I'm black I'm bad luck
If I'm white I'm old and fat
If I am anything I am still your cat


Key: 
I'm your loyal servant, your protector 
My shape remains constant and will never change 
Day and night I find myself under a mat
Awaiting the day I'm put back in the wood.
