Autumn Afternoon
The sky is blue, the river’s gray
And autumn leaves are on display.
The buildings ‘cross the river hide
Whatever’s going on inside.
The flags all flutter, strung up high
And bicycles go rolling by.
The dogs, on leashes, bark or yip,
Their owners tightening their grip.
A mighty tugboat pulls a barge;
A nanny strolls by with her charge.
The joggers, dressed for summer, pass
As couples sprawl out on the grass.
A lovely autumn afternoon –
This weather will be gone real soon,
So I’ll enjoy it while I can,
For who knows Mother Nature’s plan?
