I'm sure we could find a rhyme here: The clock struck three, he bumped his knee?

Haha, good one Kristen and Tom, I was going to put a little extra rhyme in there, but thought I would leave it up to someone else, and Tom, you read my mind, lol :D

Before the description, I thought it was a fire hydrant. Sorry! It's clear once you described it, and the title makes good (and funny) sense.

hickory dickory dock, the mouse looked up at the clock;
when he saw the BIG ten and found it was BEN,
he scrambled straight down in descend.

The one I remember from childhood (that may or may not be Ogden Nash) is:

Hickory Dickory dock.
Three mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck one...

And the other two got away with minor injuries.

The clock struck three,
As loud as can be...

The clock struck three,
For afternoon tea...

The clock struck three,
In the key of C...

Hickory dickery dydrant
The chameleon climbed up the hydrant
If a fire broke out
No reptile would doubt
This is no place for a migrant
