Did you forget to Fall back with your clock?

 

Two A.M. By Franklin Price 11/03/2019 '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?
