Melvin in Autumn

\nMelvin likes the sunny city
\nTrees and parks all looking pretty
\nEating lunch sat in the sun
\nLeaves are falling one by one<\/p>\n
Martha’s lunch is by his side
\n“I won’t be late” he knew she lied
\nChristmas shopping’s what she’s at
\nNo way she’d ever hurry that<\/p>\n
Martha’s late, Melvin can cheat
\nHe can choose what he should eat
\nStarts of with a chocolate biscuit
\nVery naughty, should he risk it?<\/p>\n
Here she comes, he’s just in time
\nIf he’s not caught it’s not a crime
\nBags and boxes by the score
\nMartha’s laying on the floor<\/p>\n
She’ll never say what she’s been buying
\nYou bet that won’t stop Melvin trying
\nHe really wants to see the toys
\nShe’s bought for all the girls and boys<\/p>\n
Chian\u00e9 and Jack and all of the others
\nIncluding their terrible sister’s and brothers
\nWhen Christmas arrives will be happy to get
\nThe best lot of presents that Martha’s bought yet<\/p>\n
Melvin’s just happy with life as he’s living
\nHe’s glad that his Martha gets such fun from giving
\nBut he gets his pleasure in a quite different way
\nFrom lunching with Martha on a warm Autumn day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
