The trees are singing a song
Then autumn leaves came along
Leaves dressed in crimson red
Brushed with gilt beams instead
The glorious golden autumn days
Treasure them before they phase
Nature's grand finale is closing in
Savor the moments and begin
For too soon it is winter's tale
Comes round so swift with the pale.

Don't let these few days of summer go
Those sweet memories I know
Let's recapture her brilliant sunshine
Spontaneity so fine
Carefree days and longer mellifluous nights
Time to enjoy the longer halcyon nights
Sitting on a blanket listening to a park concert
The birds sing along and the fountain sings a song
Canoeing like pilgrim explorers on a mirror lake
Laughing like children we we gave up our reserve
The magic of summer frolic we did serve
Our energy bursting we are once again young and gay
We antiqued and read books by the light of the day
By night the stars came out like diamonds
So I ask you "Why must summer end? Why?
Covid 19 seems to fizzle out
We need booster shots on the spot
It's one time phase is phasing out
Will the pandemic vaccine ever end?
No my dear, those who do not vaccine
Cause unwanted concern
When will we all ever learn
Vaccinations are very spotty
Some folks refuse to take it
With lack of complete cooperation
Our lives are at risk throughout the nation.
Quietly they take their rest
Friends they are without demand
My need to escape they understand
To foreign lands I travel wide
Words go along for the ride
I read on to journey's end
Each book is my friend
I delve deep into the story line
Events encountered are divine
Entertained I turn each page
Journeys lead me in every stage
Enthused I finally put it down
Reflect upon it without a sound
Writ by an author, it got in print
Enthralled readers, made a mint.
