Excellent 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     Writing Prompt Write a poem about something going wrong with daylight savings. Your poem must include a rhyming schematic. Daylight Savings Contest Winner Author Notes Illustration at https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/bed-jump.html
