The End of Time Tonight

Tonight we turn back time
The end of
Daylight savings time

A chore for me
I have over 30 clocks
As a clock-maker, not
A fake owner of one or two

I dread two times a year
Forward or backward
Make up your mind
This takes to much time

I never understood this rule
I like time the way it is
Time never changes
So, why do we have to change it?


(A clock I am working on for a friend the skull moves back and forth)

From the title, I was expecting to read something based on what the late Ray Bradbury once wrote. I now see that is not the case. Nevertheless, I see that it is a good write.

So true my friend. Perhaps you could half the clocks on one side of the house, and half on the other. A time zone...? Or different times, all over the world with tiny signs... What time is it in London? Japan? Hawaii? hehe... Great poem. Ann
