Last Saturday night people were warned about the seasonal
time change: " Set your clock ahead one hour ". I do enjoy waking up
with sunlight in my face ! But I forgot about the most important clock,
the digital alarm clock in my bedroom.
Awakening twice in the darkness this past week, I turned on
my bedside radio to WLKW . " Hey do you know what time it is ? " I
hummed, recalling the song ( It reminded me of an LSD time warp ! )
The radio guy DID know what time it was. But he just had to
be cute about it : Four times ! " It is now quarter to the hour" ...
" It is five past THE HOUR...." ... " It is now half past THE HOUR ".
" It is now just THE TOP OF THE HOUR ! "
I was rather annoyed : " WHAT hour damn it ? "
Could not the radio personality just say : " It is five past FIVE "
or " It is SIX o'clock ".. ( And you better get your ass out of bed ! )
Am I not worth THE TIME OF THE DAY ?
