A Hot August “Night”
By Donald Hughes, 2017

It was a hot August night, on the 21st day,
About 1:00 in the afternoon, Central Standard Time;
The world became crazy! What else can I say?
The traffic and crowds! Without reason or rhyme!

Everyone was in motion, looking to the skies,
To find the perfect spot, be it a field or a park;
We all bought dark shades, (we looked like spies),
Waiting to catch a glimpse, to see the sun go dark!

After months of planning, after many an anxious day,
We all went crazy! We all were like sheep!
We couldn’t wait to see what? The wonderful sun go away?
The poor birds didn’t know, should they wake or go to sleep?

Yet in the heat of the day, we indeed saw night,
And the moon crept up, and the street lights came on;
It was weird and odd, but it was a wondrous sight,
When day became night, and there broke a second dawn!

It was a hot August night, on the 21st day,
About 1:00 in the afternoon, Central Standard Time;
You can only see it once, or so they say,
So you better spend lots of money now! The ultimate crime
