Poem
Peter Perkins loved tasty pumpkin, in pies, in puddings and etcetera; Which filled their house with tempting smells, so said his wife, Elena. Beloved Elena was a splendid cook, to which fond Peter could attest, With hand over his crimson heart, like rouge sun dyeing in the west. The Perkins had a bouncy pet rabbit; and they called him 'Scamper,' Like pretty, fall leaves forever flying, in hues red, purple and amber. Frigid days had turned fragrant, and the friendly friends came calling, And flirtatious, warm breezes flitted, over emerald fields, sprawling. Finite, foggy dawn had vanished, when flattering rays flooded noon; And fave, forever family came for visits, at the onset of mellow June. They lived in the house of sweetness, and of delicious desserts, daily, In the times of sun glazed windows, looking out on pretty, pink daisy. Twilight, sapphire skies glorified stars, on their scenic, sunset street; And they took daily scent strolls, to smile at fine people they'd meet. Nonnegligent nature was naturally beautiful, when neighbors visited, In noiseless, green hours of dulcet notes, and pink robin, uninhibited. 'Slime' lily's long tresses were curling, awaiting silvery drops of rain; As 'true blood' roses lay wounded, and 'spiral' aloe soothed their pain. Peter and Elena were planning a trip abroad, their fare already paid; When Peter suddenly reinjured his kinee, ruining the plans they made! As the doctor advised only limited walking, a trip was unwise for him; But, he couldn't keep Elena from her dream, based on a fateful whim! Their tickets were nonrefundable, and he would miss his wife dearly; But Elena would have a wonderful time, as pretty, fall leaves do, yearly. Elena bought a curio pumpkin house. Its rosy panes seemed to smile; And placed inside her small photo, to stay close, across distant miles. Whenever Peter gazed at his gift, it brought smiles, rather than sighs; Like the last gasp of vermilion sunset, afore the silver, moonlight prize! 'Peter, Peter pumpkin eater, Had a wife but couldn't keep her; He put her in a pumpkin shell And there he kept her very well.'
