Autumn is my favorite time of year
Look around. See it coming far and near.
First the leaves lose their green,
Then falling can be seen.
Rake the leaves to stop their blowing
Give the grass one last mowing.
Look up! Open your eyes, and even your mouth.
Yes the birds are heading south.
Look up and down and all around.
First frost has pulled the flowers down.
Oh, wait. The pansies still show their color
This should please the girls and mother.
Let's give the grill one last workout
Before the snows make it too cold about.
Now check our coats. Do they need cleaning?
If you see spots, you know my meaning.
Look! The fireplace log stack is too low.
Let's saw the limbs felled by the last blow.
Slow down now and wash the car,
Then sit on the porch and look out afar.
Enjoy the soft breezes while we may.
Colder weather will hit us any day.
