An October tradition

 A Vagabond Song by Bliss Carmen. 

My father recited this poem to us every October. I carried it forward and recited it to my children every October. In fact, I’ve recited it to all audiences captive in my presence.  I wonder if my grandfather recited it— he was a poet like my dad, like myself,  like my children…

And now, if you have happened across my blog, I will recite it to you.
