Daylight Aging Time

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Turned my clock back an hour again
This fall woke up sixty minutes younger
Realized it's a distortional trick of the brain
Biologically not feeling any stronger

Springtime I'll move clock an hour forward
Immediately I'll age sixty minutes in time
Wish every season we'd go one hour backward
Manipulating aging shouldn't be considered a crime
