Pumpkins

Once again they’re on top of our list They make wonderful decorations They shine with strength and glory They’ve made their declaration They are out in the fields in abundance Their adorable little orange heads Cleaned and carved and lit As little kids snuggle in their beds They’re chopped and smashed and spiced Then plopped into a bed of dough Baked until they are golden brown Oh, we do love those pumpkin pies so We see them everywhere we go At this festive time of year And even made so ugly that They bring a flicker of fear So stop and enjoy them, my friends And the entire message they send Fun and smiles and wonderful tastes The delicious and exciting pumpkins!
