Summer sits on the thin border
Autumn’s running around corner
Though the days are still warm
nights are not tagging along
Layers are on the increase
thermals under shameful fleece
Chills don’t signal flu
on a walk across 5th avenue
For close to nine months - patience
but it’s not going full distance
I shall definitely be complaining
the anxious pen in hand waiting
Silly option offers consolation
A tropical vacation
As I check on bank balance
there sits Pittance
So, I’ll take it on the chin
No hard feelings sting
I could settle for a warm kiss
