The Silly Season

The Silly Season’s here again,  my calendar’s full up

With invitations by the score to sit and sip and sup.

There’s days that I’ll have clashes, have to split myself in two;

I’m not sure how I’ll manage it, I don’t know what to do.

I wish that I were Superman, with supersonic speed;

That is the super-power for me, It is the one I need

To keep my friends all happy, as well as cousin Dee,

My classmates at aerobics and the local P & C

And all the other groups I’m in, as well as folk at work.

All obligations must be met.  I’m not a one to shirk;

But as I race from here to there, and back the other way,

I ask myself will all this stress, turn golden locks to grey;

And me into a crying mess, tears pouring down my cheeks  -

Why do we have to cram it all, into just a few short weeks?
