Below Normal

thirty degrees below normal,

they said today on the news,

with this cold, frost, and snow,

i can't say I'm amused,

they said warmth is coming,

i hope it comes soon,

let me know when it's normal,

maybe this afternoon.

first snow , oh no!

i'm not ready for winter,

i don't want fall to go,

if you say that i'm dreaming,

i won't have to know,

that my pumpkin is wearing,

a new coat of white,

it happened while sleeping,

sometime late last night,

so it must be a dream,

say it's not true,

say that stuff on the ground,

is really just dew,

oh please come back fall,

i want you to stay,

don't let this small snow,

chase you away,

i'm sure it will melt,

and you'll be back quick as ever,

so don't disappear,

just because of bad weather.

forget not fall

finally fall,

i thought you forgot us,

i thought you'd passed us by,

but here you are,

on this bright morning,

the colors verify,

your brilliance and your splendor,

unsurpassed by all the rest,

oh glorious fall you've come at last,

my spirits do attest.
