SEPTEMBER
Well folks it’s now Sept. and fall is here
And every day winter gets a little more near
Swimming and boating days this year are over again
So clearing snow we’ll all feel some pain
Yard sales and BBQs are over until next year
But there are Studio Tours around Ont. and here
Patio dining is gone it’s indoors until May
Its warmer inside which is the better way
Most fairs are over and won’t be back for awhile
Yes with their return the fair people will smile
Some birth flowers of Sept.are aster and morning glory
The aster signifies love which isn’t a new story
While the morning glory signifies affection we’ve little today
As this is shown when people up and go away
Those getting married in September’s golden glow
Folklore says smooth and serene your life will go
The first Monday in Sept. Will be Labour Day
But those who do labour don’t get enough pay
On Sept. 22 the Equinox gives equal darkness and light
Although in the winter it seems like mostly night
Until Sept. 22 the Zodiac sign is Virgo Libra for the rest
While those born in the spring say the time is best
The harvest moon reaches its peak on the 20th of September
And without flies and heat its the best time to remember
For the children its back to school no more time to play
Just listen to the teacher and learn new things each day
The golden rods are in full bloom and the harvest is mostly in
There are pumpkins potatoes squash and apples in the bin
Cool nights are colouring leaves red orange and gold
And people come for miles the scene to behold
September birthstone is sapphire for truth trust and loyalty
Some things lacking today it does seem to me
Its harvest time on the farm as the winds blow soft
Hopefully it’s nice until all the crops are in the loft
Let’s pray for all covid to be gone yes somehow
But it is monkey pox and others we are concerned about now
