Subject: The Clocks They Are A Changin'
We had a thread recently about the time changes occurring around the world and this weekend, the US "Springs Forward." I start this thread to give everyone another look at this song written by Micca in honor(?) of the occasion.........It really is one of the best rips we've had done here. Brilliant job Micca!!!!!!!

Times Changing by Micca

Come, gather round 'catters where ever your home
and admit that its time to adjust your time zone
and don't you "fall back" if its spring where you're from
If your time to you is worth saving
And you'd better stop winging or you'll sound like a drone
For the clocks they are a changing

Come folkies and poets whose profit is your pen
And keep your eyes open cos its come round again
And of the wedge it may be the end thin
And there's no telling where it is aiming
Oh the loser now will be later to win
For the clocks, they are a changing

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't alter our clocks as they hang on the wall
For like Arizona maybe we should have stalled
And against this mad scheme should be raging
But resistance is useless in church or in hall
For the clocks, they are a changing

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
The time has arrived for us to take stand
Your sons and your daughter are watching the hands
You are ancient and rapidly aging
And explain once again so that they understand
That the clocks they are a changing

The time, it is shown, and gone back at last
And the present now will soon be the past
The first one now will later be last
The tick-tock is rapidly fading
And the slow one now will later be fast
For the clocks, they are a changing
