Invasion of the Pumpkins

I have lived in many towns before

But never in a place

That has a pumpkin face

Guarding every door

Pumpkins lie on the floor
Of local grocery stores

Piled mountain high

In bountiful scores

To make pumpkin pie

Or pumpkin soup

Or Jack O’lanterns

To be scooped

And on the mischief night of Halloween

Pumpkin lanterns brightly beam

Lighting street scenes with a gleam

So trick-or-treaters can be seen

Dressed as ghosts, ghouls and witches green

In search of sweets and candy beans

Yet everywhere you go beware

The Jack O’lantern's scary scare

But soon the bold spooky grins

Of carved pumpkin skins sink in

As they rot and get old

Ending in the bin as mould
