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.

Must be a great poem because it made me laugh, and a merry heart does good like a medicine. Will check for more good medicine. Blessings, Vivien
