Pumpkins Poem by Marilyn Lott

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!
