Saving Daylight

I guess it is almost that time of year
When we head to our clocks and move the gear.

In the spring it is forward we will hear
And I will lose an hour of sleep I fear.

In the fall it's set them back an hour 
To give us more sun to devour.

They call this Daylight Savings Time
Yet do we ever really save a dime?

Better use of daylight they say
Yet at the office till dark I stay.

Saving daylight for some it may be
Saving daylight for me I don’t see.

Yes I think you are right Jan, just couldn't seem to get that to fit in my poem:). Messes me up also, yet I am sure it is great for the farmer. Thanks Jan. Your the best. Janet
