Summer's heat retreats
Leaves begin to change
Colors they create
Harvest on the range
Kids go back to school
Football games to play
Evenings start to cool
Summer would not stay
The air grows crisp
The leaves start to fall
Colds and flues add lisp
Frost will cover all
Summer took a fall
Winter lurks for all
