This gold and green October
Is charming us
And teasing us
And causing us to say silly things like…
“Oh, it’s really not that long until April…”
And making us forget the January days to come
When the snow refuses to fall
To soften the cold and biting air
And the world stands still in monotones of icy gray
And the soaking rains tumble down
October,
You are such a liar!
