“We fancy men are individuals,
But so are pumpkins.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I brought this pumpkin home
Right before Halloween night
And, he greeted Trick or Treaters
With such devilish Pumpkin delight
But then, a really strange thing happened
He didn’t start to decay, like other Pumpkins
I usually cut them up, and feed them to the birds
But Frosty, didn’t seem to want to meet, that end
So, I carried him out to our old backyard table
Where he now seems very content out in the snow
I guess he wants to find out what Christmas is like
But how long he’ll stay with us, I really don’t know
And, as the temperature dropped, I felt sorry for him
So I gave him this extremely warm old Kris Kringle hat
And there he now sits, as he greets yet another new day
Frosty, The Pumpkin, has a smile, like The Cheshire Cat
And the many birds in our backyard really seem to like Frosty
As they all now flock around our backyard table, in sheer elation
But my wife doesn’t like him, because he smiles at her all the time
She claims that Frosty gives her an extremely odd, creepy sensation
But I’ve told my spouse that we should get Frosty a present
He, too, should get a Christmas gift, like each of our other pets
But she thinks Frosty is up to no good, like the nasty old Grinch
Oh, what to get an old Pumpkin for Christmas, I have no idea yet
Unlike my doubting spouse, I believe Frosty is a very jolly old soul,
With his Kris Kringle hat, and that big old smile, on his pumpkin face,
And I hope he sticks around a very long time; I’d sure hate to see him go.
Unlike Mean Tall Woman,
I’ve Grown Very Fond of Our Old Frosty;
But What Do You Get a Pumpkin, For Christmas??

I would boldly suggest a three-fold Christmas present ...
1. carve two TEETH!
2. name him ADAM!
3. get him a Mate - EVE!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
May I suggest buying
Some pumpkin seeds to begin (roasted)
the birds will like that and keep them away
from devouring your new found pal "The Pumpkin"
Peace be with you and your Pal the Pumkin
