Saving Daylight
Every problem has its own solution
eventually it will all solve itself;
we must not allow thought pollution,
to tinker with what’s on the shelf.
Most of us prefer to live in daylight;
night is our time to sleep;
since the sun goes down, causing night;
we must tinker; the sun to keep.
We can’t, somehow, alter the sun’s speed;
causing it to speed up, or slow down;
since to gain more sunlight, was our need;
we required the services of a clown.
He certainly wasn’t the brightest among us;
the one who decided to turn back the clocks;
while much of the world created a fuss;
he said, “Daylight Savings Time rocks!”
Tho, at times, his solution was inconvenient;
it ultimately didn’t solve anything.
The damage, it caused, was somewhat lenient;
but what might the next problem bring?
For thousands of years, this globe’s been warming;
many ice ages have been erased.
But, for the past one hundred, they’re informing;
the world’s shoreline will be replaced.
So the very same people who turned back clocks,
are now obsessed, stopping cows from farting;
many of them, buying mansions close to the docks;
concerned about fools, and their money parting.
