Remember to spring your clocks ahead!

Daylight Savings Time

~by Phyllis McGinley



In Spring when maple buds are red,

We turn the Clock an hour ahead;

Which means, each April that arrives,
(or March, in this case!)
We lose an hour 

Out of our lives.



Who cares? When Autumn birds in flocks

Fly southward, back we turn the Clocks,

And so regain a lovely thing--

That missing hour 

We lost last Spring.
