lost clock alert

Somebody misplaced the Doomsday Clock.

Last seen on a movie screen

or was it a curved TV screen?

anyway, last seen ticking away
in black and white
and many shades of gray
during the Eisenhower administration

If it was made by Timex
there is a good chance it is
still ticking.

In the meantime
take this as your
gray alert.
