 Retrieval Day
 by Pumpkin Flower
 
 
 
 Today we went down to the Fair
 To pick up all our entries there
 Upon the truck thrown with a  shove
 With out the gentle way and love
 My pumpkin had been loaded on
 Just one short week ago at dawn
 That day she was  a thing of prize
 Excitement , hope, glowing in eyes
 Today a back ache, chore to tend
 Get home for dinner was our end
 Unceremoniously plunked
 In the front yard ,well almost junked
 Her stem got broken, then got tossed
 Some where along the line she'd lost
 Her sense of wonder, hope, and gleam
 Now that she's lost her routing team
 She's just a big old orange  ball
 Perched crookedly as if to fall
 Off of the hill  there in the yard
 That product of my work so hard
 It saddens me to see the spot
 There in the little garden plot
 And wishing I could plug back in
 The vine I severed that mornin'
 
 And shuffling along inside
 I wondered if her seeds did hide
 That perfect mix perhaps to grow
 The biggest pumpkin yet to know

pumpkin flower don't be sad
pumkinguy can make you glad

Your pumpkin isn't down and out
Don't sit around and cry or pout

Halloween is almost here
A pumpkins favorite time of year

The pumpkin waits her sculpting fate
The highest honor she can rate

The most beautiful pumpkin in the State
Will illuminate your front yard gate

She'll cast a bright and orange glow
To light the path where children go

When she begins to slump so low
In the pantry you must go

Sitting there quite safe and sound
500 baby seeds abound

Waiting for their turn in Spring
Don't be sad it's time to sing
