The changing of times
has fooled no one
the sun still shines
whenever it wants
and the moon keeps on
prancing along
while the uncivilized beasts
slept an extra hour today
all the fools woke up
one hour early
to push some cells
around a spreadsheet
to show that sales
will expectations meet
the only ones fooled
are the ones that are fooling
one wonders
which species is dumb
and which of them
are the bright ones
when one grasps time
but still cannot
travel along
its singular line
so it plays stupid tricks
to make it think
that it matters
on temporal matters
Doctor Chuckles is a contemporary Fred Rogers. Shunned by the children's book publishing industry, Doctor Chuckles turned to us. He mostly writes for the Children's Literature and Word of the Day series. Although you are likely to find him dabbling in other series every so often.
