My Sunshine Catching Machine

My Wondrous Sunshine Catching Machine
Gobbles rays of bright sunlight.
Diskombobblebooblelates them
Just to use at night.

I am feeling pretty dumb.
Eastern Standard Time had come.
And it came as quite a shock
That I forgot to set my clock.
I was always running late
But my machine would set me straight.

I grabbed a bit of morning light
To dab it on the start of night.
I tried to switch about one hour
But suddenly my plan went sour.
It seems the switch was stuck on high
Now brightness fills the midnight sky.

Bats now fly at 6 AM.
Light of night is blinding them.
Daylight dims as nightime passes.
Owls are wearing dark sunglasses.
Sunrise starts my evening prayers.
I am having daynightmares.
Dinner is a midnight snack.
I'm now a nyctophobiac.
Coyotes howl at morning sun.
What horrid change have I begun?

No harm was meant to man or beast
But now my problems have increased.
My machine has me outsmarted.
I need to stop what I have started.

My plan will have to wait til night
So there will be sufficient light.
To flip the switch and make the climb
Out of Daylight Savings Time.
