Those Sinful Seeds

With steady hands I'll scoop, With patience, contemplate; A new life from this garden treat, Such imagery I'll create I'll start out with the eyes, Perhaps make them weepy; Wicked's not a wasted dream, Especially when they're creepy! The eyes I've just completed, They're eerie I suppose; Now I'll use my magic tools, To carve our friend a nose Carefully I'll maneuver, From the nose I'll work beneath; An evil grin is what I crave, How I love those jagged teeth! A masterpiece awakens, Sheer genius now succeeds, A final chore awaits me, Cleaning up those messy seeds!
