You told us 
That you had decided 
To stay at home 
For the weekend 
And you didn't want to go to the cottage of our friends with us 
To be honest with you 
That is a waste of weekend 
And 
You will never get the opportunity to see the fall colors 
Again 
Because the leaves of the trees are changing colors 
Right now 
To red and gold
