Jeff Kyser Poet Other

There's No Reason

There’s no reason for this change
Make us move our clocks all forward
Always leaves me feeling strange
Maybe better if we ignored
Daylight Saving’s overblown
Not like it is farming season
Why can’t they leave time alone
There’s no reason

A Leigh Hunt Rondeau: (Da)babcdcD using trochaic tetrameter and catalectic feet (missing the final metrical foot), so 7:8:7:8:7:8:7:4

Many people sweat the time change - I can't really say it bothers me much, but seems an anachronism of times past...
