PUMPKIN’S WISH

“I want to be a punkin face,” A pumpkin one day said.  “I’d hate to be a punkin pie- The heat would hurt my head.

“I’d rather sit upon a post And be a shining light;  I’d want a candle in my head Ere I went out at night.

“I’d keep a grin upon my face No matter what I did;  My mouth would stretch from ear to ear- “Twould scare most any kid.

“My eyes would shine like two bright stars,  They’d pierce a person through;  My teeth would be all jagged like,  I’d make a great ado.

“So make of me a punkin face- A grin from ear to ear;  A nose that I can breathe aright,  And I need have no fear.

“…You can punch my face with forty holes And make me shiny eyes, But do not gouge my inside out to make a punkin pie.”
