an October poem
[Texas Lighthouse at Point Bolivar]
October 
October is a cow, a female cow 
She will moo for you and make you a shake 
You have no choice but for you to rejoice 
October is a pig, big old spoiled boar 
He won't pay you never mind so you think 
Walk past him quickly, he is gonna grunt 
October is a baby chick, come quick 
see how fast it learns, today tries to crow 
Tomorrow it is to scratch, dig for worms 
October is all the pets on my farm 
Donkey Don, Billy goat, Cilly sheep, Shep 
I've named them all, won't bore you with no more 
Well except just one more, my favorite 
October is my trusty horse, my love 
Harley cares for me, nuzzles and gives me rides

I love that in October your Harley is a horse. How wonderful is that! Fun, fun, fun!
You have covered all the facets of October, Jim. :)
That is one fine horse! LOL.
Oh I do love all the animals, but even more that your bike got in to the poem -- or, I should say, horse of course. What a ride! :-)

October is a beast but I like that Harley
