Pile all those leaves up We're going for a leaf ride
Load up the little pickup
We're going for a leaf ride
Heap orange, yellow and red
Fill up that little truck bed
We're going for a leaf ride
and here comes the best part...........
as
we
drive
slowly
up a hill
we're waiting for the thrill
of throwing gobs of leaves
at the honking cars behind us!
Silly them- they make a fuss...
Hah! We're going for a leaf ride!

When my two sons were young we had a little
Datsun pickup and we would load up the back with
tons (well-maybe not TONS) of freshly fallen
leaves. They would pile into the back with all the
leaves and I would drive slowly around our neighborhood
while the boys would wait for the right moment
to appear tossing big armfuls of color. What a lark.
Today, I suppose everyone would frown and not
enjoy the exuberance of youth with the colors of Fall.
They would possibly grumble about more leaves to rake up.
Nevermind, we had a great time.
