Just came across this fun nonsense poem and I love it so much, I’m sharing it!
Autumn is here, rustling all of the leaves
Soon ’twill be time to take care of the eaves
Last time we didn’t, we paid a big price
The eavestroughs were clogged, a magnet for ice
~~
And speaking of leaves, I’ve had cause to wonder
Why don’t they stay near their trees over yonder?
Why does the wind blow them into our place
Why, when around them is so much free space?
And speaking of wind, there’s a shutter gone loose
Far up near the roof, nearly high as the spruce
And if it should fall, it may land on our heads
Or just fly away as we sleep in our beds
~~
And speaking of beds, there’s the garden to tend
And errors we really must hasten to mend
Those wild strangling vines and the tough creeping Jenny
You put up with one and you end up with many.

Very cute and very true.
Festive fall fun!
I enjoyed your lighthearted autumnal poetical musings, Cynthia. It was just what I needed today! Yes, this time of year is every bit as busy as spring. I am still way behind on autumn chores down here. 🙂
I enjoyed your poem! I can laugh ’cause my husband is the one who has to contend with the autumnal tasks. 😉
I love the line in the poem ‘ you put up with one and you end up with many’
Fun and so true!
I love autumn colors. We have a maple tree in the front yard. I don’t mind the leaves. 🙂
It takes me almost two full months to clean up all the leaves where I work, so you might be lucky!
First-time visitor. Thanks for the light-hearted view of autumn – well, and the work that goes with it. Before moving to a condo, my leaf season work was a 6-8 week ordeal. Seeing this is early November, I know I would have 4-5 weeks to go.
I hear you! It’s a long haul. Thanks for visiting.
My pleasure … and thanks for the warm greeting.
I love it, Cynthia! Wishes for a great autumn season.
The maple trees offer their splendor in the fall but also much work.
Beautiful and realist poem, Cynthia
Love ❤

Thank you, Michel.
Ha! Brilliant, Cynthia! I love this ❤
How lovely! I find myself enjoying the fall more and more every year. 🙂
Autumn certainly comes with its chores. Putting fall tasks in a poetic frame looks good.
I just took off some last plants yesterday. I still have fresh tomatoes and Bell peppers. I think you posted also making preserves for winter. I did some, too. Got short of jars.
I hope you are safe and everything is fine at your place!
You’ve been on a roll with the vegetables and preserves! Way to go, Inese!
The wind storm, following Hurricane Eta, blew all the leaves off from our trees (as well as bringing 4 trees down along our road). Winter is here. Happy Thanksgiving – Oscar
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Oscar! We Canadians have ours in early October but we have many friends like you in the US and tons of relatives celebrating Thanksgiving today. Stay safe and well and enjoy dinner.
