To the tune of Tonight! Tonight! - West Side Story




Tonight! Tonight!
The time will change tonight.
I'll get an extra hour in the day.
Tonight! Tonight!
It fills me with delight!
Think of all of the golf I can play!




Today I had to stop at seven.
Tomorrow will be heaven
When I can play til eight.



Hello, golf course!
Who cares if there's divorce?
I am changing those clock hands
TONIGHT!!!!!..

Did'ya hear about the kid in Indiana who has decided that time is money?  This is the first year ever that Indiana will be changing their clocks to fit in with the rest of US.  He is marketing his nimble fingers to change clocks...all clocks...on microwaves, TV's, watches, ovens...and even your computer for an extra buck!  {I hope the folks that have updated computers don't fall for THAT one...]

Golf On!

Now that was some great cover-up!    

Funny, I heard you were the only golfer in Florida that golfs into the night with a bike light on his cap?
     
Great as usual Michael - have fun!

Now why couldn't you have recorded you singing this for us, through dump.com?!? I know your voice, and it would have been great to hear you singing your lyrics to the theme of West Side Story!

Great poem! ~ and I had fun singing your words!

You got another hole-in-one with this post! Tee Off 4

Loves 'n laughs,

I'm still puttin' along right here,
Prayin' to my lucky star
That I will get these taxes done ~
to date, I'm under par!

So while you're out there golfing,
I am nowhere to be seen.
I hope you sink a hole-in-one,
and that I find some green.

Now that extra hour is gone,
but the world's right on its axis~
Still, I can't find a fair way
to evade the 'Ides' and taxes!

Enjoy your morning, Mike!

Set my clock on Saturday so I would not forget cause I tip my head and my thoughts fall out.

Tonight, tonight
I go to bed early
Tonight, tonight
I toss and turn
Cause I have gone to bed early
This morning, this morning
I wake up burly
Cause I went to bed to early
Tonight, tonight.
I'm just going to bed .

PS. Hahahaha Liked your poem.

Hugs

'Deer darling man, since I didn't get to this until tonight, (Sunday) and since we had our hour spring forward last week I can't say it helped me remember. If only YOU Americans changed your clock the the same time as us civilised people. (Only joking, I know you are far more civilised than us British, we still have Sunday opening hours, and they are definitely not civilised.)

Absolutely great love the musical extravaganza, only you dear 'Deer can put on such a show. Loved it, thanks for the smiles

Love and warm mushy stuff
as always

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold
