Springing Forward

By springing forward, we might find
The hour that we’ve left behind
Could leave us in a state of mind
Unsettled and askew.

For even if the stars aligned
With what the ones in charge designed,
Our brains may give the time assigned
A negative review.

I guess we have to be resigned
To knowing that the clocks we wind
Will, with technology combined,
Help keep our lives on cue.
