The TALES you probably never heard about

THE CORNUCOPIA OF FALL

Summer is gone once again fall is here
And it sure is a nice time of year

There are no flies and a lot less heat
So when doing work outside you won’t be beat

The traffic on the highways is a lot less
Yes to do any traveling this time is the best

Boating fishing and swimming are gone for this year
And the weather will be poor before they’re back here

The gardens were good with the heat and rain
So the produce is plentiful no need to complain

Hunting season is coming and soon will be here
And all the hunters hope they’ll get a deer

The trees are colored their splendor to behold
In colors of red yellow brown orange and gold

The pumpkins are ripe there are a lot around
So I hope none are allowed to rot on the ground

Some will be canned or made into pies
While others will be carved with two eyes

Grapes are hanging in clusters of green and blue
Just waiting to be devoured by me and you

Others will be made into jam jelly or wine
That’s something we don’t need at any time

Apple trees are loaded there is many to go around
So none should be left to fall on the ground

Pies and other things that are good they’ll make
Some will be eaten while others will be baked

Peaches are great but they don’t last very long
Yes the season is short so get them before their gone

Potatoes cabbages rutabagas and other things like cucumbers
Are available also for you to buy without number

Winter is around the corner with the snow and ice
So may no one fall and be injured as it wouldn’t be nice.
