Batteries, Bonitos, and Bluefish

August 28, 2026
The month of August, The hottest of summer... Oh, it is so hot! At night, wearing nothing but a tank top Right in the middle of the month, A bonito suddenly appears from the sea. And the bluefish chasing after it, Will arrive in September The end of August, Summer is still hot... I am going to work in the morning, but My car would not start, The battery is dead! The wall clock has stopped My remote control did not work dead batteries the car battery, the fish in the sea... They have all joined hands, Giving us the news silently. The season is turning; Put on your pajamas at night, Do not be fooled by the last heat Autumn is here, it is on its way...
