Think Fall

We bought a fat
orange pumpkin,
The plumpest sort
they sell.
We neatly scooped
the inside out
And only left
the shell
We carved a funny
funny-face
Of silly shape
and size,
A pointy nose,
a jagged mouth
And two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
And we put
a candle in,
Then lit it up for all to see
Our jack-o-lantern grin.
