I Messed With Daylight Saving's Time

I Messed with Daylight Saving's Time
By Franklin Price

I messed with daylight saving's time
Right after Trick or Treat
When the clocks were showing 9:00 PM
Made change to sleeplessness defeat

Stopped the old grandfather clock
To let the hour pass the day
Took the analogs and turned them back
In the Fall that is the way

Changed the hours on the digitals
The PM's  to indicate
Microwave and stove the easiest
The numbered keys are really great

Swung the pendulum on old grandpa
When the hour passed was done
Was the last change in the house
An hour gained for sleep what fun

Cheated by five hours
The 2:00 AM directive change
I knew I would be sleeping then
Was not about to rearrange

I thought I was all finished
Now awakened by the sun
I see the cars with clocks in them
There is not only one

Each has its way of setting
The manuals could tell me how
But I'm a man can't look at them
Rather curse and have a cow

But you know today is Sunday
It's the day we praise the Lord
Guess I'll change the clocks by manual
On the Honda and the Ford

Lin Lane November 1, 2015 at 7:18 AM G'morning, Franklin. This certainly is witty and 'timely.' Smiles came out for this one. Franklin Price November 1, 2015 at 4:52 PM Lin, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Clocks are too various to continue this daylight savings thing. Besides I woke up an hour early and gained nothing. Whoa is me.
