Today was the first full day of Daylight Savings Time--another milestone on the way to spring.
Next is Pi Day, then Saint Patrick's Day, then the Vernal Equinox.
I'm ready.
Here's my Spring Forward poem.
Spring Forward
The government stole an hour from me
2 am Sunday morning
when all decent people are asleep
no witnesses.
The government stole an hour from me
they don’t admit to stealing; they call
it legislating
but the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
The government stole an hour from me
they’ve got everyone in cahoots with
them
big business, schools, and the media
I can’t fight them all.
The government stole an hour from me
they say they’ll give it back in November
But I want it now
Who knows?
In November, my time may be up.
