October-N

It was never my idea to be a surprise
I think it's time that idea should be revived
My name is October, and I'm coming your way
I'm offering golden beauty and a little advise

If it's politics, you might call me 'The finisher'
That is, I give you 31 days to do or not to do
If it's finance, show me the books on day one
That is, you really should not run such high deficits

If it's finance, I can't change your habits in 31 days
That is, balance the books or borrow the funds
If it's labor, you've done your best; be grateful                                                                                                                                                           
That is, I'm your window to gather the harvest

If it's weather, I'm your 'Prep and staging advisor'                                                                                                       
That is, be prepared for cold, freeze, rain, and snow                                                                                                      
If it's religion, God is found through love, not conflict
That is, have real fun; be grateful; learn to be merry
