Wow! This wind today is really blowing!
It sure gets the autumn spirit going,
Time for hats, gloves, scarves, and a thermal cup,
And maybe even turn your collar up,
Because this wind here is no warm summer breeze,
It’s a blast designed to blow leaves off trees,
Items now should be placed in winter’s store,
Before this wind blows around even more,
It could take your chairs, your outside table,
Challenge a shingle or two, and gable,
Maybe reach further, blowing things away,
There goes a thought that I had yesterday!
Blowing branches, leaves, all kinds of rubble,
And whoosh! There goes a big pile of trouble!
It’s really cleansing, this autumnal blast,
Whoosh! There go some old pieces of my past!
Batten the hatches! Autumn is coming!
Seems like all kinds of changes are coming!

“Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the earth?” Sorry, it’s a Python reference. 🙂
It does seem that the autumnal winds are rather cleansing, blowing away the old year and getting ready for the new one.
One of my favourite references! Still remember Rowan Atkinson performing it with them at The Secret Policeman’s Ball!
Hehe…I love that whole sketch, “Not quite the conflagration we were expecting…” Incidentally, I have the Secret Policeman’s Ball DVD box set.
I had the first one on vinyl, back in the day. Spend days trying to play Pinball Wizard just like the acoustic version on the album by Pete Townsend.
