It's almost the end of September and
in most places, fall is in the air! But I
live down south, where the heat persists
and still, lingers there! At times, it can
get to be monotonous, but when the chill
of winter and the snow, comes your way,
how great it is, to be here. No worry, about
cleaning up drive ways, to make the snow,
disappear! Here I am, still running around
in shorts and enjoying the warmth, of the
sun! I'm feeling happy and carefree. If you
could change places, wouldn't you change,
places with me? Who, needs the snow piled
up high and the cold, that bites at your nose?
You can hardly, make your way walking, as
parts of your body, have already froze! Not
my cup of tea, to be sure! For me, there's only
one, simple cure. Pack up your gear and drive
down here, to enjoy, the warm and breezy nights.
Stay as long as you can, get that golden tan and
take in, all the lovely sights! Perhaps like me,
you'll like it so much, you'll make this, your
permanent home. And once you do, you'll get
that feeling and no longer, will you want, to roam!
