"There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right—except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country." – Jerome K. Jerome, 'Clocks'. In Jerome K. Jerome's short, humorous essay, 'Clocks', the writer uses observational comedy – that will be enjoyed by fans of stand-up comedians or shows like 'Friday Night Dinner' – to explore the role of clocks in his life as a writer. The essay 'Clocks' will delight anyone looking for a short, fun, and thought-provoking read.
