All Change - One More Time!

Hey Belgium, you're on Kaiser time!
Since World War I it's been this way
We were occupied, so fell in line
With German clocks - still so today!

Yet we're aligned, Meridien-wise
Upon the famous Greenwich line
In summer two hours late we rise
Now we switch back to winter time.

So many gadgets to adjust:
The cooker, clocks and car display
Flights and train times also must
Be re-set without delay.

So our politicians now seem keen
A moritorium to declare
On this antiquated 'hour-change' scene:
Let's fix a time and then stay there!
