FALL START
\nFrom the clock that I keep on the wall
\nI acquired one more hour last Fall,
\nBut I never did use it
\nAnd will now likely lose it:
\nTell me what was the point of it all?<\/p>\n

ON THE BLINK
\nSaving daylight is wonderfully wise
\nAnd a cinch if a citizen tries.
\nIt\u2019s so simple to do,
\nI\u2019ll explain it to you:
\nYou\u00a0save daylight\u00a0by closing your eyes.
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

OUR CONFUSION
\nWill we ever develop the knack
\nOf remembering how to keep track,
\nOvercoming the \u201cblock\u201d
\nOf resetting our clock:
\nTo \u201cfall forward\u201d or, rather, \u201cfall back\u201d?
\n(2005)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

BARACKSTABBER
\nOur new president has competition
\nAnd will soon have to make a decision:
\nShould his predecessor be
\nAllowed to roam free
\nOr arrested and tried for sedition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
