Daylight Savings

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

It's that time of the year again
for daylight savings to come,
when we change the time on the clocks,
confusing and trouble for some.

In Spring the clocks spring forward
An extra hour of daylight have we,
in fact there is no more daylight,
it's at a different time we see.

In Spring the morning is darker
the farmers don't like it one bit,
children go to school in the dark
and still light when bedtime they hit

Others prefer daylight savings
having longer evenings of light.
more time for the beach and barbie
before darkness takes over night.

In Autumn the clocks all fall back
that missing hour we regain
upsetting our sleeping pattern
bringing confusion to the brain.

So time then returns to normal
but the body goes into shock,
we are messing around with time
when moving the hands on the clock.

G’day Vivian … daylight saving! Curtains faded quicker; milking cows are confused; where does it end. They say it’s the crocodile states that don’t have it. It makes the crocs grumpy I guess - thanks Vivian - Lindsay
