October note: October's party

When I first discovered this poem I thought it was such a fun vivid expression of my favorite month of the year in my favorite season. In my house alone we have 3 birthdays in October - I am one of them. In dayhome we have a total of 4 (not including me) woozah!
It's a busy month for us.

I have recited parts of this poem for the kids, and I am thinking of a way that we can use the poem in one of our painting sessions or even a little play(?)

October's Party 

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came-

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,

The Oaks in crimson dressed;

The lovely Misses Maple

In scarlet looked their best;

All balanced to their partners,

And gaily fluttered by;

The sight was like a rainbow

New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,

At hide-and-seek they played,

The party closed at sundown,

And everybody stayed.

Professor Wind played louder;

They flew along the ground;

And then the party ended

In jolly "hands around."
