Pumpkin Poetry entry 1
Amazing Great
(Can be sung to the tune of Amazing Grace)
Amazing great how sweet the seed
For a middle-aged grower like me
Mr. Checkon, I reckon
You9re getting a call and a bubblized S-S-A-E.
Through yards of soil, sprains and strains
Out toiling in the sun
A pumpkin seems taller, now that Ibm smaller
And two vertebrae now are one
May heaven help me grow a beast
In my 10 X 20 foot plot
I hope to measure, my great golden treasure
With more than that yardstick I got.
And when I can see one thousand pounds
(Or maybe even more)
All will be hit-up for use of their pick-up
(Hopefully four by four).
Amazing Great how sweet the ground
Where once your fruit-ness lie
I was besotted when I found you were rotted
Now you9re not even good for pie.
