Autumn Leaves Are Falling

Autumn is humbug.

Autumn Leaves are Falling

 

By Elton Camp

 

It is at this season every year,

Praise of leaves I begin to hear:

“In them I take such a delight.

Red and yellow, oh what a sight.”

 

Such praise I cannot give

In the place where I live.

When fall comes around,

Leaves here just turn brown.

 

It doesn’t give me any thrill

They will fall and gutters fill.

Into the yard they float down

And make a mess all around.

 

Those who for fall leaves so care

And dote on their beauty too rare,

Aren’t the ones who have to rake

And end up with arms that ache.
