I saw you one morning, and thought you would go away,

        “For he’s frail, how long can he stay?”

How wrong I was, for that day you braved the wind & rain,

                  And by the end of day you were still there;

                  I realized you were stronger than my hair,

 So I tried to ignore you, but it was difficult not to stare;

                   A week went by, I realized you were bound,

And thought it was time to return you to your ground;

    We had to say ‘bye,

As I lifted you, I thought I would cry;

                  Oh leaf that adorned my windshield wiper,

             It’s easy to write a sonnet in thy honor;

But when it comes to losing a few pounds, I despair

Sigh, I say life is not fair.
