REWIND
The clocks have gone back
I take to the floor
dancing an old time waltz
out of step head in a spin
unprepared for nature's course
like tea at the Ritz or a ballroom blitz
i'm taken over the top
the Dance of the Hours is dragging behind
i'm feeling a major flop.
My body clock is all to cock
my timing is out i'm all upset
circadian rhythms are going in circles
and I havn't reached evening yet.
Even the postman seems confused
he seems to have lost the plot
not knowing when to collect or deliver
he's riveted to the spot.
Now the clocks have gone back i'm full of alarm
forcing myself to rewind them
but it's gone so dark and my glasses are missing
i'd love to be able to find them.

Enforced jet lag, it seems, Ray. The early dark nights are quite a shock.
Very clever poem.
