Batten Down the Hatches

There’s a moment in the ether, a pause like quiet in the land.

When the kids she goes back to school and nothing goes as planned.

It’s like summer here and over.The sun takes back her warm.

You just batten down the hatches! And you brace for coming storm.

I’ve tried to teach with reasons. With some proverbs and some facts.

It gets cold. Enjoy the seasons. Get those monkeys off your backs.

Dennis Mantin
