What do you call a girl named Autumn when she exits the fall festival early?
Autumn leaves
The riddle takes advantage of a double entendre combining a proper name and a verb with autumn foliage. 'Autumn' serves as a proper noun for a person, and 'leaves' functions as the verb for departing. When put together, 'Autumn leaves' describes both a person exiting an event and the natural fall foliage dropping from trees.
