I'm getting back my hour
they took it in the spring
never asked if I would mind
have never worked out why they do it.
When a kid, and dads went out to war
they made it two, so
we went to bed in sunshine
to save on lights and coal
But farmers didn't like it
upset the cows they said
so when we'd won,
and search lights were no more
they took one off us,
Bin like that ever since.
At least they do it on a Sunday
two a.m I think, but the chap
who does the parish clock
doesn't work on Sundays,
normal time will resume, again
just like it was last year,
by Thursday at the latest.
