Autumn leaves, why must you taunt me so?
We rake you up and there you go,
Dumping yourselves all over the yard
Just minutes after we've worked so hard.
We rake you up and there you go,
Dumping yourselves all over the yard
Just minutes after we've worked so hard.
Its as if you're laughing, right to our face,
"Try again you suckas! You've missed a space!"
"You know right after you rake it all up"
"The wind will blow and and you guessed it, yup"
"Try again you suckas! You've missed a space!"
"You know right after you rake it all up"
"The wind will blow and and you guessed it, yup"
"It will look like your efforts are all in vain."
"Its as if you've done nothing, it will look the same."
Boo to the leaves I say, I'll show you yet,
And the leaves say back, "You wanna bet?"
Leaves=1, JJ and Natalie=0
Dang.

ha ha ha ha! lol OH man, what a good poem! Dude, just "leave" them! Everybody else does! It's the decoration of fall!
Oh Koffords. Those are some impressive pictures (and rhyming skills). We feel your pain. Brenton just raked up 33 garbage bags of leaves. That's right. THIRTY-THREE BAGS of the pesky brutes. Maybe it would have been funner had he been thinking of an ode to them. There's always next year.
P.S. The "Ode to the Leaves" made me think of the "Ode to Michelle". Ode to Michelle, she parts her hair like a ________." :)
SORRY, we warned you!!! Impressed with your rhyming skills.
Hey Emily, It's actually "Ode to NATALIE, she parts her hair like a _____:)" And, Missy, NICE rhyming skills...
You make me laugh!! I wish I had those rhyming skills!! Hopefully I'll see ya tomorrow at soccer :)
DID YOU WRITE THAT NATALIE?! I know I've said this before, but you truly and honestly are the coolest person on the face of this earth (sorry Jayge, it's the truth, you are cool too though, but not nearly as cool as Natalie)!!! Wow. I am just in awe.
Apparently Shelley Nicole does not know our parents and the way they can infiltrate our dreams if we don't rake all the leaves up! I can truly appreciate this little ditty becasue I have experienced this first hand! Great and extremely accurate poem.
I feel your pain-we have tons of leaves, too!
The joys of being "big, grown-up" people and living in a house of your own, right? There's something about condo living that appeals to me...
You are seriously the funniest person I've ever met! You are awesome!! Natalie, I believe in you and JJ to beat these leaves butts! :D
You guys have a blog!?! I never knew....and I thought we were venner for sure. Well, I'm glad to know that there's more than one way to stay in touch. You guys look great!
