#3 Poem


Im hooked on growing pumpkins 
Ive done it for a while 
When they sprout in the springtime 
It makes me want to smile 

Ive moved the cars out of the garage 
Now Im raising cows and sheep 
My wife doesn`t quite understand 
That I get my manure real cheap 

My neighbors think Im crazy 
I rake and haul their leaves for free 
I put them in my garden 
To grow my big pumpkin 633 

Ive moved my lazy boy in my garden 
To keep an eye on my pumpkins "of course" 
I asked my wife to join me 
She said something about a divorce 

Now its time to pollinate 
My alarm is set and I awoke 
After pollinating three  5 lobers 
I have myself a smoke 

I love growing these big pumpkins 
You can even ask my wife 
When Im in the garden, 11 oclock at night 
She says "I need to get a life" 

The kids want to go to the shore 
But I cant leave my pumpkins, as a rule 
I told them were going in December 
When the beaches arent as full 

Thank you Mr. Howard Dill 
You filled my life with bliss 
Without you, I wouldnt of wrote this poem 
Or got on the Mallorn list
