The Autumn Challenge

Shouldn’t rain go down the drain

With Autumnal skies it’s no surprise

That all we get is very wet

The wind is strong and lasts so long

The leaves are blown I’m all alone

Country walks become just talks

The lawns too wet it’s not dry yet

I walk the dog, trip over a log

Fall into the puddle I’m all of a muddle

The fires off I’ve got a cough

I think it’s flu I’m worse than you

It seems strange this weather change

This season’s cheer won’t reach here

I double me scarf just for a laugh

It’s such bad form I won’t keep warm

I hate the park when it is dark

I’m getting lost in the evening frost

The Autumn song is much too long

I shiver and pray for the first Spring day
