An inside job.

Tonight we put the clocks back

An extra hour in bed

Most clocks to do are easy

But there is one job I dread

The radio clocks will do themselves

The rest are analogue

The only one I cannot do

Is the one inside my dog!

[sassy59]

So true Don! Xxx 😂😘😘💞

[O2Trees]

Midge forever! Go Midge . . . . . . .

[Pantani]

Our dogs clock takes a while to self adjust.

Hi Don, I wondered if you would have something to say about the clocks going back! I was right! Another smoker for us to enjoy and so true. Kind regards.

Caspiana is the only one, to stop me prattling on and on. 😅x

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

I know what you mean Don xxx😄

[Hidden in reply to Damon1864]

I expect you have the same problem 😉x

[Vee70]

Haha, great poem 😀 Early start for me then, with two wagging tails waiting for their morning biscuits

[Whitechinchilla]

How about a wee dram in Midges bedtime milk drink Oh Venerable One🤣😂

[Hidden in reply to Whitechinchilla]

I found, by accident the other day, that Midge likes a nip of Bailey's. 🙄

[Whitechinchilla]

You’re kidding me ????? No you’re not😂😂😂

Does the Apple fall far from the tree I have to ask🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice one Oh Venerable One.x

[Whitechinchilla]

Oh I have to say that’s my absolute favourite and I am salivating writing this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Whitechinchilla]

Well I have found that in my state of advanced deterioration I no longer enjoy the after effects of most alcoholic drinks, so I thought I would give Baileys a try. Midge was sitting on my knee and stretched over to my almost empty glass, which was standing on the small table next to my chair, for a sniff. Now she is a very obedient dog and wouldn’t touch anything without permission and when she looked me in the eye, and I can’t be sure of this, I might well have given the very slightest nod of my head. Whatever, I can repeat what I said originally.

[Whitechinchilla in reply to Hidden]

That’s so cute. Bless. X

[HungryHufflepuff]

My chickens not only have an inbuilt clock set to breakfast time, they are the alarm clock 📢 🐓

[Yatzy]

Ha! So true! Applies to grandchildren too....fortunately mine are with Mum n Dad this weekend, I shall enjoy my extra hour 😄

[Johnsel]

So true Don I am writing this 7.00 Sunday morning having been woken at 6.00 by Rosie. 🐶😴 even though I told her she could have another hour in her basket. 🥰

[Hidden in reply to Johnsel]

I’m the same as you can see

Each year it makes me madder

The dog and clocks were all okay

But I couldn’t fool my bladder! 😡

[Hellodolly]

Time changes are ignored by cats

Who sit upon your chest

They have no concept that it’s dawn

And humans need to rest

[Hidden in reply to Hellodolly]

They will be changing our name to PoemsUnlocked. 😆

[Hellodolly in reply to Hidden]

That might be more fun - could you start one please? Your rhymes cheer me up. Xx

[Hidden in reply to Hellodolly]

I think they are needed more here. 😉

[MoyB]

Hahah! Is poor Midge waiting for her breakfast today? xx Moy

[Hidden in reply to MoyB]

Midge's life is waiting for breakfast, then dinner, then tea, then breakfast, then dinner...................>

[MoyB in reply to Hidden]

At least she keeps you on your toes! xx Moy

[Bingo88]

haha. Yes Don-1931 Remember those days well. When we had a dog and meal times and walkies times too. Best companion you can have i think. Hope the suns shining where you are pal

[watergazer]

🤣 babies too

[Dilly2]

Well said Don I'm the same as your dog Midge my inner clock Will take a week to adjust

[Azure_Sky]

I wondered why George didn’t come to tell me it was tea time!

[HungryHufflepuff]

Now I know which clock I didn't change. My alarm clock. I hadn't set it yesterday, being Sunday. And anyway I woke up yesterday at my usual early time of 5. Which was 4 after the time change. For once this morning I hadn't woken up until the alarm. I put the coffee on and was listening to the radio and thinking, this is weird, this program is normally on at 5. Then it dawned on me I hadn't changed the alarm clock. How annoying! I do set the alarm on my phone (which hasn't gone yet of course) but always set a second alarm in case one or other doesn't work. Usually I'm awake early anyway but for once I wasn't today! 😴💤

[Collie4]

I agree, dogs have clocks in them, creatures of habit and routine.

Love it.!🐕

[peege]

Haha so true.

My oven clock is my trickiest with the car a close 2nd.

[Hidden in reply to peege]

My oven doesn't have a clock, it takes a pride in burning everything! My car is easy to do when I can remember how/when to do it, but 6 months is long enough to completely forget. So I don't bother.

[peege in reply to Hidden]

Same here until the day I forget the flipping car clock is an hour early so get very late for something very important. At least for the next few months I'll be an hour early 😆

By the way, I hope your cough us improving. P
