Autumn

by

John J. King

 

 

Autumn is here,

The leaves are turning gold;

The days are getting cool,

And the nights are getting cold.

 

Schools are open, 

Mothers are getting a rest;

Squirrels are busy,

Putting nuts in their nests.

 

Pools are being covered,

And boats put away;

They won't be used again,

Until April or May.

 

Local towns are

Putting on fairs;

Prize-winning food and

Animals will be there.

 

Get ready for football, the World Series

And new T.V. shows;

And enjoy this season

Before it snows.
