September br Is my month. br Virgo br By birth. br But I have never br Been to Mercury. br I am not br Thatt smart br And I really br Am not a br Perfectionist. br br But I can be br Narrow minded br And overly critical br At times. br Topaz is my lucky stone br But I prefer br Sapphires. br br But br I do love September. br Mainly because br Thats when br The rainy season starts. br The tropics come alive br And the heat br Subsides. br br September means br Football. br And a delicious absence br Of hyperactive children. br br A turn to cooler weather br The clouds seem br Fluffier. br The skies seem br Bluer. br The sun seems br Cooler. br But the Gulf br Remains warm. br br September is perfect br Beach weather. br All the blue br Stinging jellyfish br Have exited stage right. br And the Atlantic is calm. br For a time br br Usually br Great monster storms follow. br September is the month br For storms. br But storms never br Last. br br I love September br Even though each year br It makes me br One year older.
