POLLINATION
There+s a well known fact
That more often than not
You can+t pollinate your flowers
When the weather is too hot
But in the pumpkin game
You can+t wait forever
When that flower opens
It+s now or never
She+ll only stay fertile
For about six hours
You have to introduce her
To one of the male flowers
But if the flower is too hot
In this short period of time
The pumpkin won+t take
It will rot on the vine
So don+t forget
This golden rule
If the weather is hot
Keep your flowers cool
Some people use ice
As a part of their plan
Or a gentle breeze
From a cooling fan
