~~
It’s Springtime now Down Under
While we here are right in the Fall
Hard to believe it’s the same Earth
It barely makes sense at all.

~~
I wonder how folks in the old days
Reacted to this bit of news
That Christmas could be in the summer
Did they think it was some kind of ruse?
~~
Oh – look what I wrote up above there!
A captive of my point of view
Though for folks in the lands Down Under
This cannot be anything new.
~~
So let’s start this poem all over
Let’s turn it upside on its head
And now, it is Fall Over Yonder
But here it’s the time to plant beds.
