Seasons

The fall is here, summer is done
And that means cold, no more sun.
The leaves are brown,along with the grass
Oh how I wish summer would last.
The falls not so bad,its not alwayys cold
But winter is next,and it quickly gets old.
Then comes spring, a tricky wet season
Its slowly getting sunny,but then it rains for some reason.
And as soon as its gone, summer is back
It is truly the best of the seasons, and that is a fact.
