F.A.L.L I.N.T.O. J.O.Y.
FALL
Fall into school rhythms
Fall into a pile of leaves
Forget summertime blues
Fill your jars with preserves
Find scarf and your toque
Fasten on winter tires
Feel the chill in the night
AUTUMN
Afternoon's golden light
After school homework time
Apricots lie rotting
All new shows on the tube
Astroturf glory dreams
Ash in the wind burnt grass
Agricultural fairs
LEAVES
Lends trees earthy palettes
Lemon drop orange peel and
Lava splash hazelnut
Let go of green float free
Like prairie buffalo
Leaves gallop by in herds
Letting the breeze drive them
LABOUR
Labour day classic game
Last party of summer
Lug up the winter gear
Leaves corralled into piles
Ladders against the eaves
Lever off summer screens
Let the harvest begin
ICY
Icy wind bites my neck
Inching frost paints windows
Igloo lumps on the lawn
Icicles like daggers
Itching sneezing coughing
Indian summer springs
In the warm air haze hangs
NOVEMBER
Not in Canada eh
Now the states get turkey
Notice red poppy pins
Never forget brave troops
No men charitable
Needs to be a contest
No shaves for mowvmber
THANKSGIVING
Travel to the hometown
Taste the gravy add spice
Turnips parsnips and corn
Turkey golden stuffed
Top yams with marshmallow
Tell us why you're grateful
Take time to be thankful
OCTOBER
One month of school is over
Octpowrimo begins
Only in Canada
Our thanksgiving's early
Opal moring sunrise
Orange has so many shades
Order a pumpkin spice
JACKETED
Jeans hoodies and jackets
Journey to grandma's house
Jars of jelly all kinds
Juice of apples boiled down
Jug of cider spiced up
Jigsaw by candlelight
Jacketed cobs roasted
O'LANTERN
October ends scary
Old clothes become costumes
O'henry Cadbury Mars
Oh my what are you dear
On trees white streamers drape
On the stroke of midnight
Only saints rule the day
YEAR-END
Yields from fields gathered in
Year end reports collated
Yard work put off dealt with
Yew trees covered in snow
Yeasty smells from pastry
Yule logs coming soon
Young ones start making lists
