Doggy Time

It's given to us once each year,
All free and ours to keep;
A lovely, lazy, extra hour
To stay abed and sleep.

I carefully set back the clocks,
Each one, I wasn't choosy;
A bonus hour of sleep, except
I forgot to set back Suzy.

Dear Joyce: Charming poem and I agree it was lovely to have that extra hour sleep. Even our dog, Toby slept through it.  He's beginning to show his age!

Good one Joyce! Our Meeka didn't take advantage of another hours sleep either.

LOL, this was adorable Joyce. My dog woke me up too. There's just no such thing as an extra hour to her. Much enjoyed this (and knowing I'm not the only one!)

Best wishes,
/Kit

No matter how well you plan there's always a fly or in this case a dog in the ointment.

Dear Joyce

I love your sense of humour!  This one made me laugh!

We use to have daylight savings in Queensland (Australia of course) many years back but it was abolished, so to speak.  As it is nearing our summer, Victoria and New South Wales are an hour ahead of us.  I'm not quite sure how the time varies in the other states.

Love Verbena xo

Loved the poem Joyce. And what makes it all the more enjoyable is that the government can't tax us on that extra hour in bed (lol)
