I was only a week early and have returned the clocks to daylight savings until then.
Fall Back
By Franklin Price
10/29/3017
Did you set your clocks back?
Daylight saving's time is through
Did you do it as directed?
As the clock was striking two
Did you know that's least intrusive?
If you go right back to bed
Get to sleep an hour longer
Or wake earlier instead
It's really quite confusing
What this changing does to us
We now have an extra hour
No excuse to miss the bus
If you didn't turn the clocks back
You'll be the earliest to church
Might even think the minister
Has left you in a lurch
I just looked at my I-phone
It wasn't yet turned back
I checked it out on Google,
I should still be in the sack
I really feel quite foolish
A birdie told me from the net
I know it's true for everything
So the clocks are back, you bet
Yet, we have another week
'Til daylight time is through
I now have an extra hour
To set my clocks anew
After I've reset the clocks
Now that I know the score
This poem's still on the right track
For stanzas one through four
So don't forget next Sunday,
Is the the day to change the time
Next week, without egg on my face,
May write another changing rhyme.
