Everyone is so busy and stressed these days,
One hour is a highly prized commodity.
Already feeling a dollar short and a day late,
We’re now another hour behind our deadlines.
▪
Are we really saving daylight with this?
Will our energy use be slightly reduced?
Do people exercise more with daylight savings?
Shall we enjoy more sunsets this way?
▪
Or will the cons outweigh the pros:
Do we get more stressed, anxious, frustrated, and depressed?
Will increased stress lead to more health problems?
Would keeping our hour leave us happier?
▪
Time seems greener on the other side:
Arizona and Hawaii, oh how I envy you,
Rebeling against the pains of daylight savings.
Enjoy your extra sixty minutes today.

They tax us when we make our money.
They tax us when we spend our money.
They even tax our time by stealing our hours.
Why not just take the whole day away?

Might as well close McDonalds, too. Pfft!
Fortunately, they stay open 24 hours here. 🙂
Haha. Of course they do! Writers have to escape to somewhere warm in the middle of the night.
Poetical preach on!
Preachers got to start an hour early today…
Except in Arizona. I feel sorry for anyone vacationing there during this. They go home and realize they’re behind.
If they live east, they get to lose hours on the trip home, too.
Bizarre jetlag.
Here we actually lost an hour. Daylight SavingTime just throws off my whole day. It’s better in the fall, where we fall back and “gain” that hour back. Or so they say. 😄
I don’t think of it as gaining an hour in the fall, but as finally getting my hour back. Too bad it doesn’t pay interest…
I think that’s probably where we’re headed…. LOL Great post! Enjoyed it very much! 😀
Thank you. 🙂
