Fall Down South

Autumn is hard to discern in Texas Because of the year around heat and all The leaves just seem to shrivel up and drop But we have a sure way to tell if it's Fall We look out our windows one night each week To see if a bank of lights is aglow If townspeople swarm to the lights like bugs Why, it's Fall, my friend, and football's the show Football is not a game of life or death No sir, it's much more important than that Why we name our children for football greats You might hear Booger, Red or even Scat The sweetest young boy with the dimpled smile Gets blood in his eyes come Friday morning And it builds all day 'til he hits the grass The helmet he wears mostly for warning This kind of behavior goes on all Fall 'Til Winter brings us all back to what's right Then we start to look ahead to next year When Fall sounds the call to come to the lights 9-11-19 Contest:Fall Into Fall Sponsor:Chantelle Anne Cooke
