Autumn Leaves

The young boy didn't understand,
Why the leaves fell from autumn trees.
So one by one he would glue them back,
Recruiting help from swarming bees.

But as the wind would blow,
The leaves would come down again...
So he signed up for some nighttime help;
A small army of possums.

When his mother
Learned what he had done,
She grabbed a ladder,
And joined the fun!
