Autumn of My Years

Autumn of My Years

Gold leaf tumbles down
In late November

Falls into to the home
Of Family Dinner

Turkey Bird of a Day
And Football mixed in

16 to 18 strong
Tucked into a Rowhouse

With eatin tables
For the children

Even when I grew up
Wanted to sit with them

Watching a Dolphin
Sitting in the Snow

Leon please don’t Lett
The Ball Go

Halftime Approaches
Now comes the best part

First one out the door
With a Pigskin on Palm

Set the Goal lines
Telephone (Telly) pole to pole

Cut between the cars
Before the curb

Catching family
And football

Watching Troy go Down
11 times Sacked by Eagles

Giving Thanks

Hurry back in
2nd half begins

Eating the best Vittles
Cause of Family

Watch Lions lose
Pick up my Coat

Don’t want to leave
Family Turkey Day

The best dreams
I’ve ever Had

Put on Repeat
In My Head
Again
And
Again

Thanksgiving was always the best family get together. The games of football in the street still bring a smile to my face.
