The days seem to grow shorter The light don't last so long Though we'll gain an hour Now the darkness comes on strong The chill that comes with night time The northern winds now blow Chilling me to the bone In the cold my breath does show It's that time of year again Time rolls an hour back Extra hour at night Earlier out of the sack. Don't forget the thirty first It's more than Halloween It's daylight savings time In one night the two convene |

Cute poem WhtDove. But aren't we switching to Standard Time? (which is really the REAL time) And if we're rolling the clock back aren't we actually getting up later than if we hadn't turned the clock back? I AM SO CONFUSED! What's the deal with daylight savings time anyway? It's not like we are still predominantly a land of farmers as we once were. Why can't we just stay on Standard Time all year 'round? ------------------ Denise |

At least if I forget in the fall, I just arrive at church early and pretend it was my intention all along to go to Sunday School... but forgetting in the spring and arriving late is downright embarrassing! LOL |

I prefer the Spring forward to the Fall back myself  I don't like it when the days are short...it makes me incredibly tired and grouchy! (As opposed to my normally tired and grouchy self...LOL) Good poem Whtdove! I like ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Very nice reminder! But I retired and the battery pooped out on the alarm clock, all in the same week. For a while longer, I'll run on Ohme's Twilight Saving time! |
