Dan Shapiro,

Why is it the pumpkins vines are soooooo sneaky?  It's really pretty
scary.  Who knows where they'll end up.  I noticed today one of mine had
gone through our fence and was producing a pumpkin in my neighbor's
yard!! It's kind of shameful enough when I see the neighbors looking in
my backyard, shaking their heads at all these crazy vines TOTALLY
overtaking everything.  What are they going to say???  I turn my back
and then there's a vine jumping in my pond trying to strangle my
goldfish!!!!

The Next Door Neighbour

I was at the weigh-off
Admiring the fruits of my labor
When I bumped into Sam
My next door neighbour
Now he doesn t grow pumpkins
I know this for sure
Because the ground in his yard
Is extremely poor
He said he was there
To win a big prize
And he had a pumpkin
Of enormous size
And he wasn't joking
He stole the show
He won a beautiful trophy
And a pile of dough
I just couldn't believe it
How did you grow it I said
I found it last week
Behind my shed
Your pumpkin plant
All green and dense
Grew into my yard
Through my back fence
It was in my yard
So its legally mine
And you can come over tomorrow
And remove your vine
