KINDO' DIFFERENT, by                    
First Line: There is something kindo' different
Last Line: Is the favorite of mine.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


There is something kindo' different
In the early Autumn days,
You can feel it in the breezes,
You can see it in the haze;
Sorto' lazy-like and peaceful
As if Earth had done her best --
Barrin' lack of rain or sunshine,
And had settled back to rest.

Nature grows, just like a picture,
Kindo' faded, worn, and old,
When along comes Autumn trailin'
Skirts of purple, red, and gold,
And she brushes off the cobwebs,
Adds some touches here and there
Till the spots that seemed so dingy
Glow with colors, rich and rare.

Birds, forgettin' wooin' sonnets,
Fuss and wrangle all tha day,
Callin' jamborees to settle
When they'd better fly away,
And they congregate together,
Holdin' tournaments to try
Out the wings of every fledglin'
For the comin' southward fly.

Mornin's, when the frost is sparklin'
And the corn a-turnin' brown,
Make you feel it's purtnigh Heaven
Just to be a-hangin' round,
For the atmosphere, as pungent
As a wine that's old and rare,
Seems to drive away your worries
And to banish every care.

There is something kindo' different
In the early Autumn days,
You can feel it in the breezes,
You can see it in the haze.
Spring and Summer may be pleasant
And the Winter weather fine,
But the Autumn, as a season,
Is the favorite of mine.
