incredible

october 2013 has surely been one incredible month. starting it off with an official engagement and completing it with a bounty of parisian memories, i'd say it was the month of the year. granted, october typically is my favorite month, but damn, THIS october was a good one.

so in honor of this magical time, here is a poem to celebrate! and bid october adieu! and welcome november with open arms and hearty appetites!

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came—

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,

The Oaks in crimson dressed;

The lovely Misses Maple

In scarlet looked their best;

All balanced to their partners,

And gaily fluttered by;

The sight was like a rainbow

New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,

At hide-and-seek they played,

The party closed at sundown,

And everybody stayed.

Professor Wind played louder;

They flew along the ground;

And then the party ended

In jolly "hands around."
