Scarlets Final Insult

Scarlets Final Insult

by Pumpkin Flower

Just went to the garage to put out the trash
And what I saw there made me drop with a crash
The box I was carrying there to the floor
As I gazed at the empty spot there- where no more
My pumpkin seed had been drying peacefully
Was now empty as empty a spot there could be
Not a crumb not a shell not a morsel was left
Now a crimes been committed yes  there's been a theft
Some varmint has pilfered has stolen my seed
That my family had sifted and washed now is feed
There was garbage and bird food as easily had
But was pumpkin seed chosen by some mystery cad
Now I write to you my fellow growers with seed
Learn from my dismal lesson before you are freed
Involuntarily chosen to go with out seed
From your current years harvest by vermin of greed
I will look in the spring time for that tell tail vine
To be growing in gutter or hole or some pine
And when time comes in future to dry that seed out
All can bet I'll choose inside and that's with out doubt
