The TALES you probably never heard about

STOP AND REMEMBER

Hunting season starts again in November this year
And all the hunters hope they get a big deer
They hope for cool weather so the deer doesn’t spoil
As it would be disheartening after all their toil

November is a dreary month with only thirty days
So for snow to show tracks the hunters can pray
Flowers gardens and outdoor chores are now done
And it will be awhile before we’re under the sun
The Legion will lay wreaths and have a parade to remember
All who never returned on the eleventh of November
I thank the veterans for all of our freedom
But would the deceased be happy to see what we’ve become
They were just youngsters as they went off to war
As they felt fighting for Canada wasn’t a big chore
The total Lunar Eclipse Blood moon is visible on November eight
So if you haven’t seen it before you may feel its great
November the eleventh month the new year is coming
After we celebrate Christmas with singing and humming
Shooting stars are visible from Leonid Meteor shower
That will peak Nov 17 and be less every hour
November is the last month of the fall there may be snow
But its been warm all month that we all know
The Zodiac signs are Scorpio and Sagittarius for all born
And the flower is chrysanthemum if born a November morn
The beavers build their dam under a fall moon
So its called beaver moon which will be gone soon
Friendship is symbolized by the November birthstone
Which is yellow topaz to have friendship in our home.
