Scorching sunburn, heatwave weather

Air conditioned homes, a necessary tether

With grass so yellow

And sky a cloudless blue

Imagine my surprise

to the sight of morning dew

Then in rapid succession, the trees begin to change

Hues of red, yellow, orange and brown, how strange!

As the leaves begin to rustle

And kids go to school in a bustle

I know it’s that time of year again

Hello autumn, my dear old friend
