A Carpet of Gold

Just ‘round the corner,

A carpet of gold,

From the branches of ginkgos,

Was there to behold.

 

The lovely-shaped leaves

Also covered some cars,

So you couldn’t tell Hondas

From sleek Jag-u-ars.

 

I waded through piles,

Their yellow so bright

That all who walked by

Got a dose of delight.

 

In a matter of days,

Nature’s vacuum will sweep

All that carpet away,

Likely while we’re asleep.
