Jack O'Lantern


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.
