in October we trust

comes the time of the year

in October we trust

to discard the summer heat

crisp golden leaves crackling

when stepped upon

brings back the nostalgic feeling

of childhood's barefoot walking

not knowing of the wine and song

of adults' indulgence in Octoberfest

gurgling beer like a water fountain

to down the sausages aplenty

pumpkin sculpture to the fore

artistically extending a hand

go for Premier league soccer

whose games are in full swing

or a safe option is to seek out

the lull before the cold months

the pre-Chrismas bargains

to usher in the New Year

Magaly's in PU's October
