THE ACORN Autumn T he October winds begin to blow The leaves come tumbling down. Jack Frost has touched most every leaf They are changed from green to brown. The golden leaves are falling fast, They lie upon the ground, They rustic ’neath the children’s feet As they go dancing round. At early dawn the bright sun shines Upon the trees and frost, The forest shows in it’s delight The beauty that nature hath wrought. Catching The Car It’s catch the car in the morning, It’s catch the car at night, Its running here and running there, You look a perfect fright. Your shoes are most always dusty, Your feet are on the bum, Your hat is most always sideways. Rut still you’ve got to run. Should you have to miss your breakfast Or leave your lunch at home, The car still goes at schedule time And leaves you there alone. —V. G. ’22. —M. A. ’22
