Autumn Smiles

From way up high in the cloud-covered sky A snowflake traverses toward the ground In its crystallized form a new season is born And it lands without making a sound Darkness arrives before the start-for-home drives So much earlier it begins to get late Convertible tops have their openings stop And baseball teams start to hibernate Autumn is here, the first snowman is near Candy corn I am starting to crave In front of our home are some skeleton bones Coming out of a makeshift grave Turkeys get carved so that nobody starves Footballs are flying through the air Kids start being good like always they should Thinking elves might be everywhere As the seasons change, fireplace logs I arrange And start to winterize our place I am wearing a smile as long as a mile Autumn put it right there on my face
