To the Editor:
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Beware of the government and DST
They like to steal from you and me.
They come in the spring and in the night
And when you wake up they’re out of sight.
What have they taken with all their power?
They’ll say, “Don’t worry, it was just one hour.”
What could you do with “Just one hour?”
You could go for a walk and pick a flower,
Or mow the lawn around your home
Or even sit down and write a poem.
The hour was yours that they’ve taken away
It was more than an hour. They’ve shortened your day.
You could have invented something worth money
Now the loss isn’t so funny
You can’t retire on what wasn’t done
You can’t rejoice if there was no fun
DST will tell you, “Don’t worry at all,
We’ll give you your hour back in the fall.”
