September Saturday
September
September
How I remember…
Apple-pie cobblers
Candy-corn gobblers
Chewing waxed lips
Wax bottle sips
Smouldering leaf piles
Autumn smoke hazed miles
Friday night pancakes
Thick syrup Mom makes
Skinned up knees falling hard
Running in the grade school yard
Nine at night give thanks and pray
For tomorrow’s a September…
Saturday!
