I just got some really good news. Something I’ve been hoping for for awhile now. Something that seemed probably too good to be true. But apparently, it wasn’t! Cause it’s happening! I’m a little bit giddy.

So, perhaps you’re wondering what my good news is? Sadly, I cannot tell you. I know. It’s quite the bitter disappointment. But you can be happy for me anyway. And if you know me in real life, I’ve probably already told you.

In worser news—Daylight Savings (#dead). I hate it! I hate it a lot. I don’t care if it gets dark too early or gets bright too late. Just stop changing it.

It just makes me feel so bad. And it happens twice a year. And there’s nothing I can do about it. Although, actually, I’ve heard rumors of two states that don’t do daylight savings time, but personally, I’m not sure they exist.

Remember that old country song, There is No Arizona? I don’t really go for country music, but sometimes country songs can be funny. I also enjoy Merry Christmas From the Family by Montgomery Gentry. It’s awful, but also, when I hear it around Christmas time, it soothes me, because no matter how far behind I am, at least no one is drunk or plugging their motorhome in at my house.

Anyway, in honor of Daylight Savings, I’ve composed a beautiful poem about it. I hope it speaks to you.

Societal Betrayal

Foggy mind

Bleary eyes

Nothing seems

To feel alright

This overwhelming

Lack of wellness

Leaves me feeling bad

Day is night

Night is day

We all pretend

To be okay

This neverending

Pointless suff’ring

Kind of makes me mad

Here’s the cause

Of my angst:

Spring ahead

No way, no thanks

If they’d quit forcing

Us to change time

It’d make me really glad
