The One With The Ode to the End of Summer

Yikes....

It has been a busy summer. Here is my ode to the end of the season.



Lots of travel

Lots to do

Lots of fun

For them and you


Hard to believe

Tis almost done

These balmy days

In the sun


Soon it will be

Time to go

Back to school

Before you know
