A (nice) poem


Sorry if I offended anyone with my last poem.
Here is a nice one to make up for it.
Any ideas for a title?
.............

Here's a story of a little boy
Who grew the biggest pumpkin he'd seen
He and his dad carved it up
Real nice for halloween

They put it out in front of their house
For all the world to see
The little boy watched it for hours
While he sat on dady's knee

That night he dreamed of jack-o-lanterns
Made from pumpkins weighing a ton
But when he woke up the next morning
His pride and joy was gone

That little boy cried all day
While dady drove him around
He cried himself to sleep in the car
The pumpkin was never found

This story is true and goes to prove
That life can be unjust
What worries me is that little boy
Will he ever learn to trust.
