Daylight Savings Time
A Poem About Clock Setting
It's time for daylight saving time
We do this without reason or rhyme.
Time can't be saved (that would be sublime!)
But still, it's daylight saving time.
We do this without reason or rhyme.
Time can't be saved (that would be sublime!)
But still, it's daylight saving time.
Tonight before you go to bed
Set your clocks one hour ahead.
Or tomorrow your face might be red
If you stay too long in bed.

Post a CommentNice work.
Very amusing and timely.
This made me chuckle. :)
Excellent. A very amusing reminder. Loved this line:
Time can't be saved (that would be sublime!)
(( *indeed* ))
I don't like it, but I guess I'll do it anyway.
Cute poem. I've never been a fan of Daylight Savings Time. Wish they'd do away with it.
Fun poem! With the changes in the "switch" points, we will soon have to admit that DST is really the "standard" time!
Yikes! We lose an hour this time, and I have to get up early on Sundays! :P
Thanks for the reminder!
Too cute!
