Haha on me.


(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCXLI)


The year is wending out, and how I fail
As wont at noting every last joy, whence
How shall I ransom what remains ere thence
Tis Jan'ry once again? The leaves sans bail
Are dropping, and in piles, whilst I avail
Me of the sights, as red late winks, suspense
Too sneaky and 'neath wraps still where pretense
Swears this shall never end, 'spite aught detail.
I drive past yellow sans a notice, poor
Though being sae blind, these hours with warmth t'undo
The thought of woolen plaids, I lapse as twere
And don my Summer clothes as freighted blue
Skies 'scape my glance, shorts all 'round. Oh bestir
Me now, and LORD, please make me ready too.

My neighbor corrected me gently, noting "you're wearing summer clothes," as I have been wearing quasi wool plaid hitherto.
