First of Fall

After drowzy summer days,
basking in the bright sun rays, licking mint-tinged ice chips
and gnawing apple maize

I guess the time has come to return
impart a bit of what I learned
update my chums and frenemies all
and salve my rosy nosy sunburn

For this very first day of fall
it's summer I still recall
drifting over sand dunes
humming happy puppy tunes


Workday routine soon intrudes
Farewell I yowl to the dudes
of Summer no more to waste
busy Autumn takes its place
While still for ocean waves I itch
Back at work again, I is the bitch.
