FALL SEASON

FALL SEASON

Roger A. Davis

Here in the central plains
Fall crops have gotten needed rains
For me, the cool nights call for throws
Because I open the windows

The days warm up somewhat
Corn and soybeans are being cut
I managed grain elevators for 30 years
My favorite crop was shelled corn off the ears

As some of you know, I’m a very large man
So sweat I avoided as well as a summer tan
Fall and winter with turning leaves and snow
What a spectacular color show

Now I don’t rake my yard, no neighbors to please
While I watch football & basketball at my ease
I wait for the winds to sweep them away
No hurry, it can be any spring or summer day
