Pumpkin and the Moon

Pumpkin and the Moon

Winds are blowing under the trees,
Autumn is here, soon it will rain.
My finest friend, Pumpkin the Tease,
Has just misplaced his mushy brain.

I watched the children use a knife,
There wasn’t much a moon could do.
They said they gave him a new life,
On a board he’s stuck with some glue.

“So sorry my dear Pumpkin friend,
I know they’ve hurt you a lot.
With you I’ll stay until the end,
I’m the only friend you have got!”

“Why are you laughing dear Pumpkin?
Have you completely lost your mind?
You are now a simple bumpkin,
Your face was cut in your behind!”

“Stop crying, Moon, I’m doing fine,
I’m a bit lighter than before.
They only took my broken spine,
Come on, your becoming a bore!”

“Tonight I’m going to a ball,
I’ll have a candle for a brain.
Halloween eve at City Hall,
I’m happy and you cry in vain!”
