Jack o’ Lantern
Big ones, Small ones, round and pear,
Picking the canvas for ghoulish despair.
Fall leaves crinkle under the tractor’s wheel,
Excitement is now what the children feel.
A hay ride with donuts and apple cider made here
The patch is filled with spooky holiday cheer.
Scalp the top, take out the guts
Save the seeds for Mom we must.
First the eyes and then the nose
The mouth needs character, small teeth in rows.
Some laughing aloud, other meant to scare
Candles light up the artwork prepared with care.
Haunted houses, little ones fear
A ghost howls in the wind, the time is near.
Witches and Frankensteins fill the streets,
On the hunt for delicious treats.
Buy the candy, the door bells will soon ring.
Fall has come and Halloween it brings.
