Autumn Leaves
Crunching, twirling
Yellow, orange, red leaves tumble
Crunching, twirling
Down and around, rattling, swirling
When the winds of autumn grumble
I dance, too, in leafy scumble
Crunching, twirling
Yellow, orange, red leaves tumble
Crunching, twirling
Down and around, rattling, swirling
When the winds of autumn grumble
I dance, too, in leafy scumble
Crunching, twirling
