Rhyme Away

Finish the recycling rhyming poem below and then compare it with Leafy's version!

It's getting colder,
and you're one year ______________
since leaves began falling last.

But what can you do,
since last year you _______________
the yard waste out with the trash?

Save that old stuff,
It won't be too ___________________
to reuse what nature has made.

To make this cool treat,
(Recycling's so ___________________)
Compost your leaves and your grass.

The leaves decompose;
there's no need to ________________
and waste precious landfill space.

Then by next spring,
Your efforts will __________________
free food for all of your plants!

Compare your answers with Leafy's!
