Daylight Savings Time, 2020

It's one of those many things
I'd chosen to never worry about
 
But now my son Scotty has his
First home he wants that precious
 
Hour after work to overlook the
Hudson Valley from what was
 
Previously a summer cabin and
Which he's now sharing with
 
Either a squirrel or a racoon
Who manages to steal the food
 
Scotty puts out in a safe trap
So now I'm a fan of this national
 
Habit that was put in place to
Save energy or our glorious country
 
From something awful
I forget just what

I am having difficulty setting my clock forward and hour, but my wife has set all of the utility clocks forward and my computer and cell phone did it on their own.
