Munday on Monday: Leaves

They’re more convenient when they’re still attached to the trees than they are when they try wandering inside, blown by the wind.

Leaves

I find them in the entryway, the kitchen and the den;

Despite my greatest efforts, they somehow wander in.

The trees no longer needing them, they venture on a trip

Which means they often come inside (and maybe make me slip).

They’re quite misnamed, these visitors who just won’t go away;

Consider of these pesky leaves: They hardly leave, they stay!
