Poem for October 30
The Jack-O’-Lantern
Billy brought a pumpkin in
And Mother scraped it out.
Daddy carved a little mouth
With such a funny pout.
Sally cut some crooked eyes
And trimmed the thing with beads,
While everybody laughed at me
Because I saved the seeds.
But I will plant them in the spring
And wait till fall, and then-
I’ll have at least a hundred
Jack-o’-lantern men!
