He Has Been Good to Me

I almost forgot that it's the end of the monthhhhhhhhhh.

Farewell to November
"good riddance," says I
in cowardice slumber
this midnight draws nigh'

Your school days were long
but your evenings were black
and your cold, sketchy weekends
we long not to have back

But I must conclude
the one thing you take:
the liv'n ain't easy
in October's great wake

And one must admit
that you did have your fun
like nachos and pizza
and untimely sun

Like trips to the Village
on lunch-time bus rides
like special nights, whiteboards,
and rice-wedding slides

Like trips to the mall
when there's nothing to do
like coffee and skating
and taco bakes, too

Like lunch-time meetings
with an awesome new friend
and a parade that's decided
it shall never end

Like tutors and group work
and taking a run
Potatoes, Le Chateau,
Noobility, - BUN!

Like porch lights and sitters
and bubble bath foam
and realizing it's only
two weeks until home

And then comes December
friends, family, and all.
Farewell to November.
Farewell to the fall.
