Fall is the most beautiful time of the year
The October air is crisp and remarkably clear
Perfect for long walks on dirt country roads
Easing your mind from troublesome loads
Someone raked up a huge pile of leaves
Right in there front yard, what a big tease
I would gladly jump in if someone insists
Even an adult would find it hard to resist
I try to spend some time outside every single day
One windy night could blow all the leaves away
If I had my druthers I would fill my life with cheer
By making October be the twelve months in a year

Dandelion, to a gardener no word could be worse
From a man's lips it's often combined with a curse
The neighbor smirks as he looks over your fence
Lotta good it did what with the money you spent
They pop up by the thousands in the middle of the night
Right after you mowed all day, it just doesn't seem right
Along busy highways standing fearless strong and tall
Out of cement sidewalks, tar roads and brick walls
And yet if you should pick one and study it for a bit
Beyond the word Dandelion you'd have a better fit
I tell you for certain, what will take your breath away
Is when your child hands you a dandelion bouquet
