I heard a little tap on the door
I knew exactly what it was
Fall had arrived with a little thud
Everything was just abuzz
I ran outside and sat on the step
Just to see the jubilee
There was a little nip in the air
And colors were on the trees
Some geese were flying over head
Honking to beat the band
Squirrels were burying nuts to eat
They busily scampered and ran
It came to me just that quick
I didn't know what to say
Our prelude to Winter
Was silently on its way
Our days are markedly shorter
And our Fall is really here
It's a colorful, peaceful, dreamy time
Just a magnificent time of year
