It is finished

The fans are all still

The air conditioner has no will

To crank up and run.

The summer’s work is done.

Now we can rest and still

Not scare the electric bill.

But don’t get too excited

For you will soon be frighted

When that heater begins to have its day.

And that is not too far away.

We sing for joy for the few days

When the weather lets us laze.

Just run and be free

Don’t fall and skin your knee.

Sometimes just lay and look up at the cloud.

But don’t become too proud.

That cold winter wind

Will put you into a spin.

We will again yearn

For that summer tern.
