John Lawless Poet Free verse

Daylight Savings

I wonder if the sun realizes
it is getting up early next week?
Will the stars shout:
“Hey!!!  Turn off the light.”,
the moon sulk in a corner?
Will it drive the bats….
You know….”batty”?
I heard a rumor
The “Shadow and Shade Unions”
are laying off.
The sparrows think it’s hilarious
as they can’t tell time,
The roosters may need a snooze button.
I just want to know:
“where are they putting all this daylight they’re saving?”

Jim Slaughter October 30, 2022 at 9:30 AM Excellent question, John, and ditto what Milton said.

Gershon Wolf October 29, 2022 at 8:02 PM I want to know too, John. Clearly, 'Inquiring Minds Want to Know!' lol

L Milton Hankins October 27, 2022 at 9:28 PM That's a very good question, John. I'm of the opinion that we should leave the "time" alone. Let it modify for itself.

Becky Forbes October 27, 2022 at 7:09 PM Maybe they are hoping to charge all the Teslas with it here in California??? John Lawless October 27, 2022 at 7:43 PM good luck with that Becky...kinda like living in a house with 10 kids and only one bathroom
