Notes About The Poem

Did you forget to Fall back with your clock?

 

Two Am

Two A.M.

'Twas two A.M. this very day,
This Sunday in November
Time gremlins took an hour away
Was asleep and don't remember

They snuck in very quietly
These part time thieving gnomes
They were not very greedy
Just took an hour from our homes

Made a deposit, in the bank, 
Of Daylight Savings Time,
When they return it to us, in the Spring,
We'll forgive this petty crime

If for some strange reason,
You were left out on this day
Save the hour in your mattress
They pay no interest anyway

If you're in Arizona
You've just read a useless rhyme
You're in a State that doesn't honor
Any Daylight Savings Time

Although, I hear the Navajo,
Who live on native land,
Honor Daylight Savings Time
I, for one, don't understand

This is good, but as someone who works the night shift, I assure you, they added an hour. Hooray for overtime?
