With purple skies, the air has now turned cold,
as summer makes her exit with head bowed.
The trees are crowned in shades of red and gold -
fall season reigns.
New England fairs are fun for families,
where catapulting pumpkins draw a crowd
and children petting chicks and soft bunnies -
bring smiling eyes!
With purple skies, fall season reigns.
New England fairs bring smiling eyes!
