Hot chocolate

Leaves-a-rakin’!

Maple syrup

Pie’s-a-bakin’!

Rain hammering with each stone drop

Children hoping for it to stop stop stop!

When the sky’s clear, on a crisp autumn day,

Let the rustle of leaves, carry your worries away!

For soon, the end of October will be within sight

Ghouls , ghosts, gargolyes, what a terrifying fright!

Cracking fireplace

Wind-a-bitin’!

Scarfs, toques

Spirit-a-lightin’!

Before long, from the ground to the trees

Blanketing the colours, usurping the autumn breeze

Comes that time of year again, that we both know

Bringing ice, cold, and torrents of snow!

But do not fret, sadden , or tear

Autumn will come again, in one short year!
