Autumn
Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to hold.
Quickly scurry to where
You’re going
Because the winds are
Coldly blowing.
Hurry home where the fire glows.
It will toast your frozen toes.
Have yourself a nice
Hot toddy
It will quickly
Warm your body.
Slip off your shoes
Turn the TV on
Watch the news.
Sleepily walk up the stairs
For your nightly snooze.
Say your prayers
jump into bed.
Let the winds howl
And scream
While you enjoy
Some pleasant dream.
