October was tipsy
and having a wonderful time
but not managing things very well
a few rainy days
then a week of heatwave
and the drought records were making everyone crazy
then Fall showed up
late to the party and screamed
"What the hell are you guys doing?!"
Summer and Winter
sitting together on the couch and mumbling
gave each other that "party over" look
then Summer passed out
and Winter got up to take a shower
and get ready for work with a big headache
as Fall started cleaning up
and October stumbled to the door
while sheepishly looking for his coat.
