Three Pumpkins on
a Halloween Night
The hills untie their bonnet; the
bobolinks began …………………………………………… Their song,
when the sun goes down.…………………………………… As the sun set there was a misty purple haze in the sky……………… With three little
pumpkins were climbing up, ……………………………………………… When they reached the top they saw a land of gray.................................................................
Now it is dark time for trick or treating
……………………… Time when dead things fly, …………………………………………………………………… When witches bats and spirits flit through
the moon lit sky, …………… When the docile woolly white
crescent moon wanders alone in the sky, ………………………….. When gnomes scamper into their
underground homes. .....................................................................
When spooks and trolls creep out of
their green mossy holes ……………………………………… As they look about with fixed
glass eyes and stony stares, ………………………………… When once living pumpkins on a
vine, have been carved into lanterns …………………………… Sitting in windows with
candles aglow, on this glorious night, …………………………………… The three orange
pumpkins see spooks, goblins, bats everywhere,
………………………… While
ghosts, witches vampires dance spookily throughout the night........................................
Tonight is the night to trick and treat
on porches and stairs, ………………………… Where our friends
we'll meet, see the costumes they have on, ………………………… Monsters, ghosts, goblins and
skeletons too, ……………………………… When candy and apples are
dropped in our brown sacks, ………………………… As we shiver down the
street with cold blue hands …………………………… To seek the
next house, trick or treat........................................................................
The three little pumpkins were sitting
on their front gate …………………………………………… In front
of their house long after dark. …………………………………………………….
The first one said, "I don't like my costume, and it's getting
late.” …………………………… The second one said, "I don't
care, I'm not afraid." ……………………………………………. The third
one said, “I'm ready for some more trick or treat fun” ……………………………… Then whoosh went
the wind out went the lights…………………………………………………
BOOOOOOOOO00000000ooooooooooooo…
Three little pumpkins jump off the
gate ………………………………………
And run as fast as their little feet could go …………………………………………………………………………………………..
Into their house terrified as
could be, …………………………………………………………………………………………………
Their hats whooped up on lifted hair, ………………………………………
They didn’t stop to stare. …………………………………….
With
scared faces that never
sulked……………………………………………………………………………
The three little pumpkins sang all
night long ………………………………………….. In the gobbling’s goo- goo tongue,
………………………………………… “The
world’s a very happy place where ………………………………………….
Every pumpkin-child big or small
…………………………………… Ought
to sing what a wonderful ………………………………………….
Friday the 13th Halloween night!”..............................................................
