October Poem
Pumpkin Pals
by, Geoff Mihalenko
Two pumpkins in a pumpkin patch
Argued and debated,
Which one of them deserved to be
Carved and decorated.
The first pumpkin to speak his mind
Was tall and rather thin.
He said, "I'd look so handsome
With a splendid toothy grin."
The second pumpkin who spoke up
Was round and large in size.
He said, "I'd be quite fearsome
With a pair of scary eyes."
Then someone came and bought them both
And much to their surprises
Instead of carving two faces,
She baked two pumpkin pies!Encore Rotation
