As Festivities Bring Cheer Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Short nights get longer,
When an hour from them is turned back to save.
And during this time of the year,
As winter approaches near in New England.

And that daylight that stayed,
Appears to slowly drift away...
From those longer days when the Sun would come.
And everyone enjoyed the having of fun.

Then October brings Halloween.
And in November Thanks is given.
Who doesn't think of Christmas in December?
With a passing of it to bring a New Year that visits.

Short nights get longer,
When an hour from them is turned back to save.
And during this time of the year,
As winter approaches near in New England...
Few are heard complaining as festivities bring cheer.
