Almost Autumn--By David Fox--United States

Almost Autumn

Summer is coming to a close

Around the third week of September,

But, with it, there are things

I will always remember

Camp, barbecues, a dip or two in the pool

Or just sitting by my air conditioner

Trying to keep cool

Going to Adventureland*,

The museum and the beach,

And trying to do anything else

That within my reach.

Yes, now it's almost Autumn

But I need fear

My memories of Summer

Will never disappear!
