I heard her on the bus complain
“I hate November – too much rain!”
But hey, I have to remonstrate;
My birthday month I celebrate!
The days draw in but Christmas lights
Bring a sparkle to dark nights
Trees lose their leaves but show more sky
The silver moon winks glibly by.
Warm house, mulled wine post chilly walk
Friends gather round firesides and talk;
The lure of books I can’t resist -
Cheap book-sale thrillers* with-a-twist!
Being mindful makes me smile
Time to meditate a while
Enjoyment rewards different views;
To keep sane, I switch off the news …
