FALL FESTIVAL
Day Nine
October's Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

the oven on takes the chill out of the air . . . plus, you get
treats!"
