Poem

It has been discovered by satellite
That the moon's magnetic
Pull
Slows the Earth's revolution approximately
One second per day
8 million years ago a single day
Was barely eighteen hours long

Deadlines were a bitch.

This means that by the time I die
If fate delivers my trick

A common day will consist of thirty-two hours

Deadlines will be a bitch

But many can go out dancing
Literally 24 hours a day
And still sleep for the 8 hours
Recommended by the surgeon general

Unless you are an insomniac
In which case odds are you will go totally insane
