My Wondrous Sunshine Catching Machine

My Wondrous Sunshine Catching Machine Gobbles rays of bright sunlight Diskombobblebooblelates them Just to use in darkest night I am feeling pretty dumb Eastern Standard Time has come And it came as quite a shock That I forgot to set my clock I was always running late But my machine would set me straight I grabbed a bit of morning light To dab it on the start of night I tried to switch about one hour But suddenly my plan went sour It seems the switch was stuck on high Now brightness fills the midnight sky Bats now fly at 6 AM Light of night is blinding them Daylight dims as nightime passes Owls are wearing dark sunglasses Sunrise starts my evening prayers I am having daynightmares Dinner is a midnight snack I'm now a nyctrophobiac Coyotes howl at morning sun What horrid change have I begun No harm was meant to man or beast But now my problems have increased My machine has me outsmarted I need to stop what I have started My plan will have to wait til night So there will be sufficient light To flip the switch and make the climb Out of Daylightsavings Time
