While many Texans firmly believe seasons do not exist in our great state, we all look forward to the few weeks of cool weather in the fall. It’s the perfect time for cardigans, sweaters, and a cup of hot chocolate. The hard part is waiting for the blissful respite from the heat.
Waiting-For-Autumn Blues
The back to school photos are posted and liked
The kids shuttle off on foot, car or bike
We breathe out a sigh–
the heat’s end is near
For it’s practically autumn, right?
Aw, bless your heart, dear
This is Texas
the proud fine and true, none the same
But our slide into autumn’s a rocket of flame
The sky will burn fierce til Thanksgiving day
When you hear 93 degrees and think
ooh, cardigan day!
But fear not, brave Texans, fall will come soon
And we’ll huddle in woolens as we howl at the moon
For now, close your eyes–the a/c feels nice
And cool yourself off with a sno-cone of
pumpkin spice
