| Rhyme: "Autumn" | |
| In autumn when the trees are brown, | |
| The little leaves come tumbling down | Flutter fingers downwards. |
| They do not make the slightest sound, | Hold fingers to lips – “shhh”. |
| But lie so quietly on the ground, | |
| Until the wind comes puffing by | Puff out cheeks. |
| And blows them off towards the sky. | Blow a big breath, wave arms in the air. |
