On my way to work I saw all the leaves along the side of the road and the trees starting to change color. I thought, "It's beginning to look a lot like fall!" which brought the song "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" to mind. Then I started humming the tune, and put words to it. Thus, I wrote

It's beginning to look a lot like Autum
It's beginning to look a lot like autum
Everywhere you turn
Trees change to colors bright,
then drop their leaves so light.
Cooler days and less daylight to burn!
It's beginning to look a lot like Autum.
The clock will turn back soon.
A walk in the leaves is fun
They crunch as you go along
It's barely fourty-eight degrees by noon!
Sweaters and scarves to shield from the wind
as it gusts and nips at your nose.
A cozy fire in the hearth with warm blankets to spare
and steaming cup of coacoa.
And all the kids go back to school despite a heartfelt "No!"

It's beginning to look a lot like Autum
as the days go by.
October brings Halloween
A goulish and scary scene.
Then comes Thanksgiving with the pumpkin pie!
It's beginning to look a lot like Autum.
Soon the snow will fall.
Before we know it December's here,
bringing Christmas cheer;
Choirs caroling and presents for us all!
It's the season... called Fall!
