MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER

A bright sunny day as we

Are halfway through

September.  The sun is

Bright and the clouds

Are lit up by its reflection

Ducks and geese are

Traversing the calm water

There seems to be little

Human activity.  Many of

The snowbirds have left

For the south and the

Winter season.  The true

Yooper stands firm.  They

Enjoy the seasons and

Beauty offered by this

Paradise of the north.

Many come and are

Impressed by the ambiance

And confess that they

Had no idea of the beauty

They behold.  From the

Canadian Locks to Menominee

One encounters three of

The great lakes and

Numerous waterfalls

Lakes and hiking trails.

In the winter the snow

Machinists enjoy as often

As possible.  There are

Many things to mine for but

The climate change advocates

And stamping many good

Ideas with a “No”.  That

Means many jobs and

Openly acknowledges our

Lack of knowledge and

Absence of critical thinking

The story of mankind

Some day we will wake up

And then enjoy to the fullest

God’s gift to us.
