Fall

by David Knape

In Texas the Summer
finally comes to a crawl,
and in comes the season
we like best of all

It's reluctant to enter
sometimes it get's stalled,
when it finally get's here
we're ready for Fall

Now Yankees say Autumn
sounds pretty and all,
but us native Texans
prefer to say Fall

It's easier saying
complimenting our drawl,
and just spelling Autumn
is harder than Fall

So take a breather
from the heat of ole Sol,
Summer was hot
but it's cool to be Fall

Remember it's over
in no time atall,
in shivering Winter
you'll be wishin' for Fall.
