Whining again

November
Thomas Hood, 1844

No sun - no moon!

No morn - no noon -

No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,

No comfortable feel in any member -

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -

November!


There are times of the year I like better. I think I'm most thankful for Thanksgiving, because it makes the rest of the month almost worth it.
