Daylight Savings Time
I thought I’d put a short poem up that I found on Daylight Savings Time ending both because I thought it was rather clever and as a reminder to folks to set clocks back an hour…but then didn’t get it posted in time to make the daily email for subscribers! Well, most folks are reminded by their phones these days, and forgetting has fewer penalties in the fall anyway, as you only end up arriving places an hour early. I hope you enjoyed the day and the extra hour of sleep!
Daylight Savings Time
In spring when maple buds are red,
We turn the clock an hour ahead;
Which means, each April that arrives,
We lose an hour out of our lives.
Who cares? When autumn birds in flocks
Fly southward, back we turn the clocks,
And so regain a lovely thing
That missing hour we lost in spring.
