This morning, I woke up late becauseDaylight savings time is here early
Oh no, it’s another lost hour this month
But actually it’s the hour we gained last fall
When the government decreed in the news
That daylight savings time would last longer
Now the decree is…it will start earlier
In mid-March…before winter is over
So for all the cows in dairies across America
Who just got used to their milking schedules,
And all the families who have settled into a
Comfortable routine for work, school and home,
It’s time to change your internal time clock
Now when you wake up at 7 am it will be 8 am
And you’ll be late for work, and when you retire
At night early at 9 pm, it will already be 10 pm
All in the name of saving more energyTo use later in the day comes this disruption
To our lives, I bet caveman didn’t do this,
He just checked the sun in the sky to see
What time it was, if he was hungry-he ate
Tired-he slept or because it was dark
Life must have been much simpler then
Before clocks and daylight savings time
