NOT AN ENTRY in the POETRY CONTEST

Once upon a bleak November
As I fanned a dying ember
Striving vainly to remember
Who these bubblepacks are for.

Of ideas I had nothing 
In a flash the names came flooding,
Like a pumpkin plant a-budding
As mine had, four months before.

For a seed thats truly dandy
Deb Sundstrom and husband Randy,
Missus Emmons or Mr. Handy
Should have wondrous seeds galore.

Shellie and her boyfriend Rock,
Kenny Mitchell and Mike Brock,
All have giant seeds in stock,
Treasures in a golden store.

This year in my eager quest for
Seeds, I wonder should I pester
Steve Daletas or Brett Hester
As I did the year before.

Other seeds to me do beckon.
Seeds from Larry and Gerry Checkon
With these killer seeds, I reckon
I could do a whole lot more.

Hark, a seed my name is callin
(Unless my ears are filled with pollen)
Is that a seed from Joel Holland
The postmans bringing to my door?

Could it be that Im in luck, or
What? To get a seed from Stucker.
I will need a bigger truck or
Trailer. Thats what U-Hauls for.

An AG grower of excellent pith
Is pumpkin pirate Kevin Smith
Whose seeds I could grow a winner with
According to my pumpkin lore.

And while my task I do not shirk
To rhyme Mombert just doesnt work.
Oh, do I dare to call him Kirk
As I go begging to his door?

Im finding just a narrow few
Rhymes for the names Hebb and LaRue,
So if I found no rhyme for you,
Forgive, forgive me, I implore.

And send your seeds for 2004
Directly to the Morgan door.
Ive told the address oft before,
But let me tell it just once more:

David and Kathie Morgan
5767 Lois Ave.
Santa Rosa, CA 95403
