Autumn is wearing a bright golden crown -
She’s coming this morning to visit our town
And her best friend, Wind, will be joining her too.
Will they have a nice day? Just what will they do?
She’ll be changing the colours of leaves on our trees,
And Wind likes to tease with his cold playful breeze.
They’ll come tumbling down in a pile on the ground
Then he’ll take a deep breath and blow them around.
They both knock down conkers for children to find -
But nuts aren’t just there for the good of mankind.
The squirrels like nuts and they’ll store them away
Then out they will come on those cold wintry days.
What lunch do you think the two friends might eat?
What sorts of things would be good for a treat?
There’s sweet tasting berries and fruits of all kinds
Such a wonderful treat for the two friends to find.
They’ll chase over the hills and along by the river –
Wind’s cold wintry breath will cause us to shiver.
Swallows will see them and they’ll say their goodbyes –
Calling “See you next year” as they fly through the sky.
The sun’s going down - there’s no time left to play,
But the two friends have had such a marvellous day!”
When you look all around at this colourful scene
For certain you’ll see where the two friends have been.
