Fragile.

The box was stamped "fragile", but nobody knew.
For this one little word was put out of view.
On the highest shelf, the little box sat.
But nobody knew the shelf was not flat.

Slanted a little, only time could tell
When the box would fall silently, no farewell.
slowly inching towards the end, it was about to drop
nobody there to catch it, nothing there to stop.

Hanging by a string, the box starts to rock
Time slowly ticking by, stare at the clock.
Watch the seconds quickly go by
When the box falls, nobody will cry.
