AUGUST
Its August now with less daylight each day
And shortly for this good weather we’ll really pay
We’re in the eighth month the year is going fast
Yes it won’t be long until its all gone past
It was named after Augustus Caesar so what can we do
May no one ever say lets change that too
Leo is the Zodiac sign for some August folk
But most people feel the sign is a big joke
The Civic holiday is on August first this year
So it won’t be long the winter will be here
Blackberry blossoms I’ve seen are heavy once again
Which means lots of snow oh what a pain
For every fog in August in the winter there’s a snowy day
Lets all get out and try to keep it blown away
August brings the best bounty of the season
And to prepare for winter we have a good reason
Canning season is here lets can tomatoes and beans
Cucumbers and beets plus other vegetables we’ve seen
Harvest vegetables and fruit then put them away
Then in the winter no food I have no one can say
Two birth flowers of August are gladiolus and poppy
But they are soon gone and for awhile them we don’t see
Its almost over the season for light clothes
And just around the bend we’ll wear things unlike those
The birthstones of August are sardonyx spinel and peridot
For those with birthdays then if they know it or not
If it rains in August it rains honey and wine
Although that’s something I’ve never seen at any time
On August eleventh the sturgeon moon reaches its peak
It’s the last super moon of the year that I do speak
Called the sturgeon moon as they were caught in the great lakes
While some in Lake Champlain people also did take
Remember summer is gone there are cooler days ahead
So there may be mornings we wish to stay in bed
