Time to start shitting the fields;
Time to start sanding the streets;
Time to start bundling the kids;
Time to start sipping the peat;

Time to start pairing the gloves;
Time to start washing the musty flannel;
Time to start sniffing nutmeg and cloves;
Time to start watching the Weather Channel;

Time to start waxing the blades;
Time to start seeing your breaths;
Time to start wearing more plaids;
Time to start hanging your wreaths;

Time to start ignoring bicycles;
Time to start sliding slowly downhill;
Time to start bewaring icicles;
Time to start finding a grain to distill;

Time to start serving the bird;
Time to start shucking the corn;
Time to start the rumor you've heard --
Summer's almost gone.
