On this first day of Fall, let's read Keats' "Ode to Autumn" and slowly realize that Keats never visited Florida.

If he had, he'd have written, "Ode to Second Summer," or "Ode to Chili's on 9th," and the unforgettable, "Ode to Joel Whose Cousin Has A Pallet of Yeti Coolers That Totally Fell Off a Truck And He'll Sell You One For Half Price If You Meet Him in the Cordova Mall Parking Lot at 10 pm When He Gets Off Work"
