Daylight Saving Time isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
It’s time to set the clocks ahead
and lose an hour’s sleeping.
We think our brains can be misled
through solar-based housekeeping.
It’s darker in the morning,
but the sun will stay up longer.
And yet, here’s a word of warning:
risk of sunburn gets much stronger.
This concept really is a dodge
I find unjustifiable.
A self-deluding trompe l’horloge;
some subterfuge heliacal.
Adding daylight’s misbegotten;
I prefer the dark before dawn –
all because I’m really not in
any rush to put my shorts on.
BC was in the process of cancelling the spring forward, fall back thang, in concert with Oregon, Washington and California. But for some reason, California has hit the pause button. Vast majority of peeps here want to get rid of the changes.
