August

awGUHST: respected and impressive;
AWguhst: eighth month of the year.
Which makes it possible to have
an august August, but that sounds, to my ears,
quite pretentious, showy, and affected.
Impressive though this month may be
(eventually, I mean; today was nothing
to write home about) I like to keep things 
simple. So I'm signing off to have a simple
glass of wine. Respectfully submitted
by a simple sort of poet, Ellen G.
