Autumn:
Do I Turn the Thermostat Forward?
The thermostat that I set for seventy
In the August heat was entirely too
warm
And now in November it’s entirely too
cold
Why can’t thermostats get the
temperature right?
The clocks, hot or cold, have issues of
their own
In August they chimed the sunrise at
six
But now they chime it at seven-thirty
We can conclude that clocks are easily
confused
The seasons don’t know if they are
forward or back
And I’m unsure myself – alas and alack!
