Daylight Savings Time

Looking at the calendar, I see that Daylight Savings Time starts in March, and I began to wonder where was all that sunlight when we needed it during the dark days of winter. (There, I gave away most of the poem.  It's a short one.)

                                                                      Daylight Savings Time


                                                           Where is all that saved daylight deposited,
                                                            and how can it be withdrawn in the dead
                                                            of winter or when that dread rainy day
                                                            finally comes? Or is it saved religiously,
                                                            leading a luminous afterlife, securely
                                                            retired in an ideal, eternal Florida,
                                                            somewhere well beyond this dull February sky?
