I’m Looking For An Equinox


Not the Chevrolet—the one I want’s no car at all—
For certain though there is, in fact, a new one every fall,

This long awaited equinox, 
That all my neighbors want so much, 
has less to do with cars and such
And more to do with clocks. 

All of us see them more than once, 
But unlike football there are no punts. 
This equinox of which I speak often is so cool,
It can make the “good ol’ boys” surrounding me just drool

That equinox by Chevy
Which can be so very heavy, 
Some blasts of cool air it may bring;
But we crave cool air from shorter days, not air conditioning

When it offers respite from the sun’s hot rays 
The equinox autumnal is our favorite down here.
You “Yanks” can have those warmer days of vernal spring,
 We’d sooner have some fresh cool air, than almost anything.
