Autumn Tankas
chocolate paddlepops
only taste good in summer
fish and salted chips
taste much better in paper
at the beach with a cold beer
summer went too fast
now it is autumn followed
by winter and the bleak time
not that it is freezing cold
the sky remains blue mostly
Beer is a summer only drink for me. Though Fish & Chips are good on a cold day. Have to use your own newspaper to get the full effect.
