A bright sunny day as we
Are half way 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 snow birds 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.
