My Sweaters Hang and Wait
In Europe, they call it Autumn
In America, they call it Fall
I’m looking for it, “Hum” …
But it’s not here at all!
The leaves are hanging on
And plenty are still green
Feels like Summer is not gone
Like nothing I’ve ever seen!
Yesterday was eighty-six
Today will be eighty-two
The climate’s playing tricks
And I don’t know what to do!
My sweaters hang and wait
While short sleeve tops abound
My clothes know not their fate
When no balance can be found!
What have we done my friend
Is this our planets way
Will pollution ever end?
Or is it here to stay!
Whether you call it Autumn
Or maybe you call it Fall
We pray cool air will come
With our luck, twill be snowfall!
