Rick W. Cotton wrote this short, funny poem about the quirks of Daylight Saving Time. Since some of us get to spring forward today, I figured it was the perfect time to share it.
“What’s with this Daylight Savings Time?
It steals our sleeping, snoozing time
Roll out of bed and take a breath
And feel like microwaved-reheated deathSeven o’clock? That just can’t be
It’s way too dark out there to see
Coffee? Yes, I need two cups
To get my sluggish body upAnd hit the road before the sun
For Monday’s way-too-early “fun”
It’s lunchtime? HUH? I just GOT here!
My head is just now barely clearAfternoon meeting? How can that be?
I thought it was one…HOW IS IT THREE???
The end of day has almost come
The day flew by…it’s almost done!Five o’clock, well that’s just fine!
I LIKE this daylight Savings Time!”
