If there were no such things as clocks,
my life would sure be great.
I’d never have to worry
cause I never would be late.
Yes, on the way to school,
I’d stop and play a while,
and when I finally got to class,
my teacher would just smile.
I’d never have to fret about
my homework getting done.
I could do it when I liked
which really would be fun.
As for bedtime — what a laugh!
I’d watch TV all night.
As for morning — I’d sleep in
until the sun was bright.
But clocks are here for good, I guess,
a thought I really hate,
cause judging by the time right now
I’m two whole hours late!
Oh dear. And soon the time will “fall back.”

I have a take it or leave it attitude about it, myself. When it was time for us to “fall back” we would send the kids to bed at their regular time, then turn the clocks back and have a whole extra hour to ourselves.

I’ll bet it felt like the best hour of the year. It would feel kind of “stolen” from the kids.

lol. It was good until they learned to tell time and figured out the scam.

I hear that youngsters now (that could be anyone up to 55) don’t bother with clocks and watches unless it’s a smart watch.

I’ve run into several secondary school students that can’t read an analog watch or clock. I’m always stunned.
