Your odds-and-ends drawer of the internet- you never know what you might find.

The ABCs of Fall in the South

A is for apples: 

That make the best pie of all. 

B stands for boiled:

for peanuts in the fall. 

Chapped lips come quickly: 

of course they do. 

D is for deck the halls 

with ghosts that say “Boo!”

E stands for every vendor, 

At Christmas Made in the South,

And F is for fried fruit pies, 

That melt in your mouth

the best kind of Dawgs.

H is for hunting: 

doves, deer, and hawgs. 

I is for in the air, 

where the farming dust stays, 

J is for joggers, 

For the occasionally windy day.

K stands for keeping up, 

Which you better, should you bike

(Or walk in the woods-

Fall’s perfect for a hike.)

L stands for leaves, 

which North Georgia does the best

M is for muscadine

A better grape than the rest.

N is for nope: 

don’t bring the boots out.

Because in O (for October) 

It’ll still be hot, no doubt. 

P is for protein, 

Smoke it on low, 

Keep space on the table 

For where the brisket’ll go. 

Q’s for quilts: 

Bring ‘em out to cover those toes. 

R is for Rubbermaids, 

holding fall clothes.

S is for stew 

of the Brunswick persuasion.

T stands for tailgating

with all of Dawg nation. 

U is for under 

the big clock in Perry

V stands for victory, 

The grass isn’t as hairy!

W is for woodsmoke: 

The perfume of the fall! 

X means eXamine: 

“Ref, what was that call?!”

Y is for the yelling

Of kids at Fall Fest.

Z is for zippers: 

On jackets and vests.

happy fall, folks!

May the Dawgs win, may the boiled peanuts be hot, and may this cold weather stick around for a spell!
