Autumnal Attitudes and Platitudes
IN SEARCH of ORANGE OCTOBER
Now it is orange October, a pumpkin cliché
plump turkeys are destined for supermarts
as November gets near short grows their day
autumnal dirges now tear through their hearts
Vegetarians cook firm soybean curd
basted turkeys in the oven slowly roasting
hot juicy giblet gravy from the bird
mashed potatoes for dinners we’re hosting
Harvest brings an abundance of things nice
fresh apple cider jugs chill in the first frost
gingerbread and pumpkin pies filled with spice
covered with whipped cream regardless the cost
Candy corn, cookies, and other sweet delights
end our orange October jack-o-lantern nights.
