Autumn Air

It’s near, it’s here you can feel and smell it too Autumn has blown in; the air is worn out, not new The decaying of the leaves fills the autumn breeze Blowing free and fast it brings in the autumn sneeze… Flu season has arrived with the decay filled autumn air It’s not right we didn’t get a summer, it really isn’t fair All the seasons strike a fear in someway for all of us Winter snows, the north wind blows and makes you want to cuss… Spring brings with it hay-fever, another sneezing season Summer gives us sunburn, but we risk that for a reason We all need the sun we bathe and wallow and breathe it in But when the autumn reaches us, it really is a sin... Dark nights swoop on down, just like a Halloween ghost Winds batter us all inland and not only on the coast Rain is ever constant, breeding fresh new bugs for flu So autumn air is for the flu-jab, it’s now time for that to renew. © 31/10/2102~GG~ Contest entry for “Up In the Autumn Air”
