Jack O’Lantern
Your eyes of flame blaze in the night,
your fiendish grin burns strange and bright,
and little children won't walk near you
and hurry by because they fear you.
But when a few short days elapse
we'll see your power quite collapse,
and you'll turn squishy, soft and shrunken...
for after all, you're just a punkin.
The Bard of Sherman Avenue
