The Pumpkin Poem

Halloween Warmth
Originally uploaded by distef68.

I just can’t think of a reason,
not to enjoy the Halloween season.

Personally, I take pleasure in all the funk’n,
When it comes to carving the pumpkin.

There's no way one could be bored,
when they're playing with their gourd.

First you start with a pumpkin so special,
One that would appreciate a Halloween facial.

Next take off it’s top and get it to open wide,
Then push your hands deep inside.

If you go too fast it might start dripping,
So use your other hand to keep it from tipping.

This is messy work, if you get the gist,
But if you do it right you’ll be in past your wrist.

Next you need to think about the eyes,
Because no matter what they say it is about the size.

But don’t take to long, cause you gotta go south,
The tricky part is working the mouth.

Some find it easier to work from underneath,
But for the love of god MIND THOSE TEETH.

Now you can stuff it with your candle,
Give it the biggest one it can handle.

If you’ve done everything that you’ve read,
You should have gotten some great pumpkin head.
