A Little Nibble
I saw a little nibble
In my mini-pumpkin gourd,
But one small bite is more than
What that gourd can well afford.
The likely culprit (chipmunk?)
Didn’t like the taste he got,
Though just a tiny hole’s enough
To welcome in the rot.
What’s meant as decoration
For a Halloweeny mood
Is, to all non-human creatures,
Nothing more than gratis food.
