Lake water near the shore
Was like a plate of glass
Further out, but still insight
Small waves, waved like grass
All but one day this month
Was gray and full of clouds
There was some lightning
And once a thunder that was loud
Our moon craters were gone
Mild weather caused them to melt
The dippers at the creeks were happy
They could go after the smelt
One day, long ago, we had
Twenty-nine days without sun
It was in November – Thanksgiving time
People were down – having no fun
Then on the last day of the month
Much to our surprise – the sun
Came out and stayed out all-day
We had to shield our eyes
The beauty of nature is that you
Wait and wait, but never know
Why does it wait and wait before
Putting on such a lovely show
