AUTUMN IS HUMMING

 

Two pumpkins grace the entrance,

Either side of the door…

Out in the flowerbeds

 Planting mums is in store.

–

The price has gotten low enough

That even we, the poor…

Can buy mums for the windowsill,

Away from winter’s roar.

–

The Santa trains are being prepared,

At EDAVILLE, things will shine…

Will the Grafton and Upton

Do something in kind?

–

Maple trees and aspens

Are oft the first to turn…

Glowing foggy mornings,

Helping the mist off-burn.

–

Soon I’ll put a snow shovel

Back inside the car…

Remembering the times when

I couldn’t get very far.

–

Oktoberfest is coming

To our Douglas town…

I hope we’ll have some dollars

To spend when it comes ’round!!!!
