December Leaves

Irony

The fallen leaves were cornflakes

That fill the lawns wide dish

And night and noon

The winds a spoon

That stirs them with a swish

The skies a silver sifter

A sifting white and slow

That gently shakes

On crisp brown flakes

The sugar known as snow

To mean the opposite of what is said
