I haven’t posted my daylight savings poem for several years, so I thought it was time to do it again.
Spring Forward, Fall Back
Spring forward,
To save an hour of daylight.
Put it in the bank
Until the dark of winter.
Fall back
Into the evening gloom.
Open the vault
To lengthen the days.
Empty the treasure chest
Of sunlight and illusion,
Evening hours borrowed from morning
And then returned.
No hour gained,
No hour lost.
Each day still has twenty-four
To run its course.
Minds are easily deceived,
But you can’t fool Mother Nature.
