Happy Michaelmas!

September 29, Michaelmas Day, is almost upon us. There's still time, however to send a greeting to a friend or relative.  Why would you?  Well, here are a few reasons you might.

To a Friend:

Here's wishing you a Michaelmas
That's cheerful, warm and homy
And filled, dear pal, with mem'ries of
The fifty bucks you owe me.


To a Neighbor:

Dear neighbor, just a word to say,
Wish you well this Michael's Day,
Wish you joy in everything,
Wish return of following:

-- one lawn rake

-- one weed trimmer
-- one pair garden shears
....


To a Sister:

A cheery card to darling Sis
To wish you Happy Michaelmas,
And just to mention, by the way --
I've had Mom since Labor Day!
