Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Oh, for that lost hour on that first morning.

The Vanished Hour

by HarryT

Daylight Savings Contest Winner 
 
Hands sprang ahead, and an hour fell
Who in the hell inflicted this eerie spell?  
Alarm bell jingling, I sprung from my bed  
A muddling turmoil spins in my head
 
Coffee not brewed, I had to rush  
Jammed in the morning train crush  
As I cursed the stolen away hour 
Emerging is a thirsting for power
 
Note to Congress: Do something worthwhile
Do away with the curse, join across the aisle
