Autumn leaves


Leaves crackle
Leaves crunch
Leaves swish
and
Leaves munch

Leaves up high
Leaves down low
Leaves can stop
and
Leaves can go

Leaves are red
Leaves are yellow
and
Some are marshmallow

The Little Leaf

I am a little leaf
I like beef
I sit all day merry and gay
In my favourite chair
Spinning away
The wind blew and blew
I caught the flu boo hoo hoo
So I went to the doctor
To see what he could do
