I Messed With Daylight Saving's Time

I Messed with Daylight Saving's Time By Franklin Price 11/1//2015 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

G'morning, Franklin. This certainly is witty and 'timely.' Smiles came out for this one.

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.
