Congress took a vote
the sun is on probation,
refuses to submit
to the surgeon general’s standards,
not to mention the FDA!
Well we just can’t have this
shining whenever wants
its just not American,
so it might be in God we trust on the money,
but Father Time don’t pay taxes,
darn it all it is the principle of the thing.
This is the land of the free
and home of the brave,
(er maybe land of the debt ridden
along with home of the cell phone warrior!)
Still, democracy has to stand for something,
which means no stupid daystar
is going to tell us when it can give us light.
Okay so it is black at 430 pm in the winter,
big deal, I got lights,
what if it stays night until after I get to work
in the morning,
as long as the kids in the crosswalk
remember to wear some neon orange
safety clothing on the way to school
then all will be fine.
Yep, it is America love it or leave it
like they always say,
even if you will to leave before the sunrise,
since it probably won’t come up
on that daylight savings plan
until two hours after you're awake.

I saw this contest earlier, and have seen the picture on An Old Codger's page, as well. I have never cared for Daylight Savings Time in the least. It made sense, perhaps, in the olden days, when electricity had not yet been invented. I prefer to sleep during the appropriate hours, and I always detested getting up when it was dark, only to leave work and have it be dark then, too. 
Good luck in the contest, my Friend.
