October in Phoenix:
No scarlet leaves in sight;
October in Phoenix,
Still sweltering at night.
October in Phoenix--
First day breaks a hundred--
We all see, crestfallen,
The records we dreaded.
I dream of northern mountains,
Flagstaff maples and aspens;
But I'm down here working,
No matter what happens.
If I were a Catholic
I'd call it "Purgatory";
Ah, since I'm a Lutheran
I lack that category.
Beyond urban confines
The desert grows scenic;
But it's a big city--
October in Phoenix.
