Question: Would you care to comment on this pome!? About the time change!?
Fall Back
by C!.S!. Scotkin

Standard time has come at last
I think that’s really fine!
The only problem that I have!?
My body thinks it’s nine!.

It’s only eight, can’t go to sleep
I’ll be up around four
I may be getting too old for this
How can I take any more!?

But it is nice to go to work
When Sol is up and bright
I’ll get over insomnia,
Now I wish you all goodnight!

Dayshift! My wife put in a 9 hour night with Code Reds at both ends!. The strobes don't do great things for her migraines, and where she works (if you'll pardon my saying it) is crazy anyway BCPRN!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I didn't know you Yanks,
Had to suffer the clock change too
British Summer Time;
March Forward, Fall Back
What are we all to do!?
My internal mechanism
Winds down erratically
I wake in the morning
And it's only half-past-three!.

I go back to sleep, though!

The daft thing with this clock changing thing is, now it is dark in the mornings AND dark at night!.!.!.!.so what does it achieve!?

The idea of British Summer Time (BST), also known as Daylight Saving Time, was first proposed by a keen horse-rider, William Willett, who was incensed at the 'waste' of useful daylight first thing in the morning, during summer!. Though the sun had been up for hours during his rides through the local woods in Chislehurst and Petts Wood, people were still asleep in bed!.
He campaigned for it's introduction but died before it came into use in 1907!.
Just because he didn't meet anyone riding through the woods, didn't mean that the WORKING population hadn't been up for hours!!!!

Oh!. I like it!.!.!.
The only thing, I think that in the 2nd line of the 2nd verse you should add one more syllable!. I think it would make the poem flow more!. If you don't understand what I mean, try reading the whole poem aloud!.

Great job otherwise!
