'Twas the Last Month of Summer

'Twas the last month of summer and all through the nation,
The yuppies were taking their final vacations.
In Washington, tourists were starting to fade,
And back-to-school shoppers began their crusades.

While hype of The Bachelorette slowly depleted,
The race for the White House was getting more heated.
Now weren't you excited to see Snooki's baby,
And change up your ring tone to sing "Call me maybe"?

Now August was good to the girl on this blog--
It starts with a trip themed "What about Bob?"
She went back to her mission in Maine and Vermont,
Sailed Winnipesaukee - what all Bill fans want.

Then one of her old high school friends tied the knot
(Not missing that flight would've helped out a lot).
But all was not lost, she just flew into Vegas
And drove through the night - her time was outrageous!

The last trip of August (there's just one more, really)
Was with her old bestie to see Gauguin in Philly.
They strolled the exhibit and ate all too well--
Then gave a good clang on the Liberty Bell.  

And now it's September, the summer must end;
The tan lines are fading - you just can't pretend.
So farewell to August, this month has been great--
But hockey* starts up soon, and I just can't wait!
