Storyteller Challenge #3: Autumn Phrase Prompt

I got home today and this is what was going on in my back yard! Unbelievable! I am so not ready for snow. Of course, none of it is really staying on the ground, but I know this is only the beginning!!!

It all worked out though because Shah over at Wordsinsync posted her new Storyteller Challenge Prompt this week and it's "Give Autumn a Chance." So, I combined inspiration from her phrase and this photo that I took of the snow falling in my backyard and came up with this poem. The rhyming is a little cheesy, but I think it's funny. Enjoy!

Give Autumn a Chance

Come on snow, give autumn a chance

It’s not your time to dance

They’re still leaves on the trees

And Thanksgiving feasts

And all you do is make me sneeze.

One day the afternoon is sunny

The next, my nose is running

I thought this was Fall

Not a winter squall

Now, all I want to do is bawl

Autumn is my favorite time of year

There’s pretty colors and pre-holiday cheer

But the snow is falling too soon

So, I’m singing a different tune

One about shivering before and after noon

Although the snow can be very pretty

And it may inspire a spontaneous ditty

It still makes driving really crappy

And mostly everyone is unhappy

Because the dim is kind of shabby

Yes, I like to make snow angels

And I don’t mind if my cheeks tingle

But can’t we all give autumn a chance?

Let’s take this one final stance

And not let the snow ruin our prance

Because autumn is my favorite season

Although there really is not reason
