Cool to Hate the Fall
Words alone cannot express how I feel about the end of the most beautiful season. So here's a little ditty I like to call "Cool to Hate the Fall." I've included the lyrics below in case you can't understand us. And yes, Randy Jackson, we know we're pitchy--what of it?

I know it’s not
Cool to hate the Fall.The leaves, the smoke, the plaid:
I hate them all.“Back to school” should not inspire
Ecstatic reveries.It only means another round
Of registration fees.That nip in the air just gives me
Pains in my old knees.Summer, can’t you stay with us
Come on, I’m begging, please?I know it’s not
Cool to hate the Fall.But autumn just does not
Hold me in thrall.Why is everyone so happy
When the Summer ends?Won’t they miss the beach, the heat
And all their Summer friends?In the fall the flowers yield
Depressing dividends.Winter doesn’t bother me,
But Fall gives me the bends.I know it’s not
Cool to hate the Fall.I do not sing this
Solely to appall.Scarves and socks and long sleeves
They interest me not.I’d rather look at pink and green
But orange is all Fall’s got.Now I’ll never get to wear
That sundress I just bought.How about Summer all year long
Now isn’t that a thought?I know it’s not
Cool to hate the Fall.—Lisa
