A funny poem

Autumn

      It is autumn now.

  Autumn comes after summer.

     There are three months in autumn.

   September is the first autumn month.

   October is the second autumn month. 

   November is the third autumn month.

Early autumn is very beautiful.

The leaves are red, yellow, orange and brown.

 Autumn is the season of fruit and vegetables. 

     There are orange pumpkins in the fields and red apples in the gardens.

     People like to go to the forest to gather mushrooms.

      But the weather is not very pleasant in late autumn.
It often rains. The rain is cold and not pleasant at all. 
 In September, the first autumn month, the school year begins in Ukraine.

   In October we celebrate Teacher’s day.

     November is the coldest month in autumn.

     It sometimes rains and it often snows.
The trees are bare. 

     The days are short and the nights are long.

     After autumn comes winter.
