August, Die She Must

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I remember
A love once new has now grown old

This will be my last post until after the close (if I have a moment in the interim to put up a guest post, I will), because I am ungodly busy shorting the living hell out of the market.

I offer you my ideas for today – only the A's, because that's as far as I've gotten! Surely this alone is worth the subscription fee you guys pay each month for this site. Or, if you somehow managed to break into Slope for no charge, click a few ads for good karma.
