Army Knives and Cuckoo Clocks

There is a country…

There is a country
that has a clock
that goes “cuckoo”
instead of tick-tock.
 
Its watches are made
with great precision
which makes one’s choice
an easy decision.
 
It has a navy
(it may sounds daft
as it is landlocked)
but only a few craft.
 
With lots of lakes
in which to fish;
where the fondue
is a famous dish.
 
It has snowy slopes
that one can’t resist
where one can ski
on or-off piste.
 
Also where Heidi
is the role model
for young children
learning to yodel.
 
A tennis player
said to be an old codger
but keeps on winning
is a man called Roger.
 
To other champions
he’s still a threat
and of that country
the biggest asset.
