The Night of the Lost Hour

Here it is again - this time of year,

the one Saturday night we fear.

No one minds an hour in the spring,

but to lose an hour is a different thing.

It seems such a silly thing to do,

I think it is crazy, how about you?

Wouldn't it be nice to be like Arizona?

The one in charge must be in a coma!

Tonight you will find me at my task,

and my disgust I will try to mask;

it won't be easy, I'll tell you why,

far too many clocks we did buy!

Living room, kitchen, they each have one,

the bath and bedrooms need to be done;

I'll turn the hands and reset the time

with an hour less to rise and shine!

Listen close and I will share a secret

I will tell you if you can keep it

I have done this now for many a year

please don't scoff at me or even jeer.

To ease the pain and get in tune,

I start to turn the clocks at noon,

so by the time I am ready for bed,

the change is already in my head!

So what ever your plan, don't forget,

or you might wake in a cold sweat;

but also remember to keep from harm

 change the batteries in your smoke alarm.
