Fallen Leaves

The leaves on the trees turning from yellow to brown 

     With a stiff wind soon on the ground 

     Rustling, rustling 

      A pile of leaves so neatly collected 

      Beckoning me so they're not neglected 

       Rustling, rustling 

       I jump I jump so gleefully 

      In a daze of joy so peacefully 

      To which I must admit this practice I adore 

      Now the leaves askew and beckoning no more 

      Until next year my beautiful foes 

       Rustling, rustling as the wind blows
