Second place poem
A Toast
Here's a toast to those who wish,
Not for that 12 point buck or trophy fish,
I address those that truly have the gumption,
To earnestly grow a thousand pound pumpkin.
To those of us who strive,
To keep those giant hopes alive!
And to those who will not rest,
Until they reach a personal best.
I am but a mortal man,
But Steve and Charlie proved we can.
Geneva, Dave, and Gerry, too
Raise the bar, and start anew.
Here's to all still in pursuit,
To grow that world record fruit.
Mother Nature must surely grin,
When weigh-off day finally begins.
So large a fruit from seed at start,
With joy we nurture from within our heart.
-Jim Kilbert
