    August

     Unless you have your birthday
    If not, then you might hate
    A month with no holidays
    For us to celebrate

    I don't like this time of year
    And I think it's the worst
    When will all of this begin?
    It starts on August first

    August is the only month
    Without a holiday
    I would like to create one
    If I had things my way

    In the Northern Hemisphere
    August sure is a bummer
    Hot and humid days abound
    In the dog days of summer

    August is a boring month
    I don't believe I'm wrong
    It's icky, hot, and sticky
    And seems extremely long

    I know there are other months
    With the same count of days
    There's something about August
    That doesn't earn my praise

    In the heat of my hatred
    I guess I should remember
    Soon enough, August will end
    And lead us to September

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
