It's 6 but it's gonna be 7!

Daylight Savings Time

The alarm rings at 6:20.
I better change it to 5:20 because
it's going to be darker and I better get used to it.

It ain't easy changing morning light.
Well, changing the light is really God's job.
But Daylight Savings Time is government's job.

Formerly dark waited for Halloween.
Remember?
Suddenly night was cold?
Night was dark.
Fall was here.

Daylight Savings Time gave a bit more light,
a few more daylight hours,
a little more time getting costumes on
to trick or treat in the gloom, not the dark..
Then night hit.

Was it on Rocky and Bullwinkle
that the old joke about
night falling?

CRASH!

Can't blame the dark all on Daylight Savings Time.
Changing seasons does most of the dirty work.
Sun's moving away,
packed it's bags and hit the road
for climes further on.

Want to walk the beach after work?
Remember...the sunset is earlier.
15 or so minutes earlier each evening until
forget it...it's too dark to park.

And suddenly night falls.
CRASH!
Stay awake!
Don't go to bed at 7:00!
Do Not give in to ancient hibernation physiology!

If you do,
dark wins,
drowsy conquers and

time, being a mystery,

an ethereal thing..

well, you see the pattern...

Oh, No!
I'll never get up in time for work!

Daylight Savings Time confuses the confused.
