Time Tangle - (a satire on Daylight Saving Time)




Time Tangle     by Paul Howlett  

The cow farmers in Queensland said that Daylight Saving Time will make the curtains fade, and they did not want the State to adopt such a radical measure.

Down in the deep south of New South Wales, the State adopted Daylight Saving Time with glee.  In fact they have extended Daylight Saving Time for an extra month.   

All the curtains in New South Wales are now in deadly peril, or so some Queenslanders think.

Victoria and Tasmania are in the same predicament, as their curtains are too subject to the deadly Daylight Saving Virus.

Queensland will come to the rescue, as Queensland will petition the Queen of England to issue an edict that all States in Australia abandon the awful practice of Daylight Saving Time and conform to the correct time, as set by GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and never to deviate from it.  

People of Queensland rejoice
 
Loud praises to our pommie* Queen      

We will sing   -  we will sing

We have saved the curtains

All the curtains of the land

No more fading no more pains

Colourful curtains are on hand!
