Changing Time

The clocks go forward 
Our clocks are then put back
I was under the illusion that time 
Was physics domain or remit 
So why are we allowed tinkering with it 
Is it broken and who are we to fix it
365 Day's 
4 Season's 
12 Month's 
As the American's say
Do the Math
It all adds up
So why defy 
What is the reason
For changing time
Twice a year
One hour forward 
One hour back
Dark winter's 
Light summer's 
Something's never needed changing

I could go forever and a day without re-doing the calendar or the clock, having no interest in either, and not much faith. That is why the last line made so much sense to me.
