When Will Autumn Come

We are still waiting for Autumn to come The grass is green, the leaves hang on All we ask is for it to finally cool down You go out, you sweat, you have a frown Did someone decide we did not deserve it Is a never-ending summer all that we get? We’ll be wearing swimsuits on Halloween There’s supposed to a break in between And I can just see our Thanksgiving meal We’ll eat watermelon, with shrimp to peel! Oh, Wait, I think I just saw a leaf fall Please, don’t tell me that will be all… But we looked out, the trees were bare We raked up leaves in the cool brisk air And for that one week Autumn had begun Alas, a week later our Autumn was done!
