My Big Green Squash?
It has always been my dream,
to raise a squash so big and green.
So big and green they cannot say,
their's too much yellow, cream, or gray.
So big and green they will not need,
a judge to say, "it's green indeed".
Soil rich, the seed was right,
and now it grows, big, green, and bright.
Could this finally be the year,
world record squash for me I hear?
Business calls, I must be gone,
one month, 'til weighoff comes along.
But friends and neighbors volunteer,
to feed and guard my precious dear.
And then I make it back at last.
Tomorrow's weighoff's coming fast.
I see the patch but something's wrong.
Did I stay away too long?
Oh no, oh no, this is so strange,
my big green squash has turned to orange.
