Fall thoughts

Fall thoughts Starting to take a little longer for the lights to come on Songbirds are saying soon the flowers will be gone Time to fly to a warmer spot and count the days until spring Had a great time again and when I see you next year I’ll sing I’m getting colder as the sun sets, I know that bird tells true Soon the pretty landscape will no longer grace my view Leaves drop, nuts and petals and the squirrels hustle to bury What once were pretty trees now hang so bare and scary Halloween around the corner, Thanksgiving not far behind Time to haul out the blankets, pray your pants fit your behind It seemed so nice leaving all of the windows open day and night But the mercury dips just a little too low with lack of sunlight Yes old man winter is on his way, once again disrupting things Bitter cold, closed up doors, snow to shovel is all he brings Santa Claus and fruitcake along with that little boy drummer Ah! You can have the lot of them, just wake me when it’s summer Tim Windisch 09/17/2022
