Clocks all around me are now off

By one whole hour (not at all lost)

But gained in a flurry of confusion

On a day when some were choosing



To use the extra hour for more rest

Perhaps, it works for some the best

But for others - a spanner in the works

... Adjusting time dimension is no perk

 

Now the confusion has come and gone

I'm faced with a mamoth task, and long

So many clocks now to adjust backwards

Against the nature of some - that's for sure



So many to reset - some will take much time

For these don't go backwards (not at all fine)

By the time the hands go around eleven loops

Both MY hands, and the clock's, will be pooped!
