A Warm Fall Rain?? Warm?

Rain & leaves both coming down
One to cover, other soak into ground
Temps are mild, in 60's still
But by Friday, a major chill
October going like summer pumpkin
November entering like winter lion
Snarling & cold, frost on the way
Garden gets zap on this Monday
But, today & tomorrow, it's rain
Fire danger gone, do not complain
Think of Cali, lost in smokey haze
Climate change drought fueling blaze
Or blazes, I really should say
There are so many out west today
While in the Rockies & onto the plains
Frigid temps & deep snow remains
Crazy extremes in-between seasons
Tilted planet, all of the reasons
One day it's summer, then winter's here
37 in Tulsa, Nashville 64 today
Big diff an hour plane ride away
Been reading the TOE, one thing is clear
On planet Earth, nothing but change!
Homeostasis (Sheldon) hard to arrange!
Especially with surface broken in plates
Where plate edges don't quite mate
Pressure releases, earthquakes come
Here with boom of big ole bass drum
But, glad none here today
Aftershocks roll Philippine's way
Southern island has major destruction
90% of structures need reconstruction
Quakes offshore in Puerto Rican trench
Subduction giving plate a big wrench
But, no really big shakes today
Just planet stretching in usual way
Got clear skies, check them out
Moon a lovely little crescent pout
Sneaking past Venus toward Jupiter
I won't see it, that is for sure
Clouds & rain are here to stay
For all of Halloween day
Trick or Treat
Your call
Today On Earth

Home field advantage
Surely not this year
Crazy World Series
That much is clear
Who wins tonight
Takes home the crown
One dancing in delight
Other tears running down
Both teams so good
Both amazing years
Hitting horsehide with wood
Bring on the cheers!
And, lets
Play Ball!!
