However Pretty...Mums are Bums

What have I become...
if I think that mums are bums?

Have I lost all my brainpower...
in the dissing of this flower?

Why have I lowered the boom...
on this violet bloom?

Am I just being dumb...
in my thrashing of the mum?

The answer is no.

The arrival of the mums...
means the Summer is almost done.

Insert sigh here.
