Now look - how did you spend that extra second
That we had one year?!
A timeless amount, never to be wasted
In which to do so many things
Why, yes, I remember it well
I spent it in......
Taking 3,497 trips around the moon
Doing 5,436 marathons
Swimming the English Channel 2,643 times - and back again
Taking Fido for 6,547 walks
Doing enough shopping for 6 months
All these in one second!
But now - soon (in UK) an extra hour
A whole 3,600 seconds
Time enough to do all the above
3,600 times more!
Ohhh, I can't do all that, Orchi
I will spend the hour in bed sleeping!
Fido says - Orchi forgot that we lost an hour in March
And we're having it back now in October
But time almost infinite in Leap Year
An extra whole DAY!
It's all too much. heehee.

- Comment from author about the poem: Tak a second, or a few of them, to read this. I dunno much about the clip. It just had 'time' in the title. I skipped an horrendous 90 SECONDS of adverts at the start. Far too many seconds to waste.

Like so much of my time these days I spent it shielding. Sat in a clear perspex box enclosure in the corner of my living room next to a power socket just in case i become so melancholy that i need to disconnect my life support system.
Ahh, thanks dusk.
So where does the extra hour come from?
Is it kept in the syllable store courtesy of Miss Sylla Berles?
Thanks M. Yes, she takes it away in March - puts it in her syllable store - then gives it back to us in October.
Isn't she wonderful!
a change is as good as a rest isn't it ... I like it when you take a break from your hymn poems orchidee .. and I imagine there will be others who would second that ..... N 🙂
Thanks N. You mean you like it when I don't sing 'em?! heehee.

Thanks B&A. Oh, I dunno much about Pop songs after about 1980. Well, this one maybe, from 1973 I read.
Yep, we're gonna rave, gonna razzle at Mattins today (or whatever it's called). I will get chucked out as a heretic!
Thank you Orchi for giving me TIME with one of my favourite groups ( bet that surprised you) I have all their albums and spend time listening to them as I am with this track from the album "Dark Side of the moon" which we have been to.

Thanks Gold. Erm, it might be about the only Pink Floyd song I know. lol.
