Daylight Savings Time: A Lesson in Skepticism

Daylight Savings Time: A Lesson in Skepticism

Ben Franklin wanted more daylight,

so, of course, we followed suit.

For this, a little more night at daybreak,

and a little less sleep to boot.

But clocks, devices of man they are,

need help to haste the day.

So check them twice at first, at least,

or else you’ll lose your way.

And this because, given the chance,

they’ll leave you in a bind.

With clocks misset by happenstance,

You’ll think you’ve lost your mind.
