A Real Country 'Bum-Kin' - For Lin Lane

This scarecrow is no country bumpkin
His bottom and head are ripe pumpkin
Touch him if you dare
He’ll give you a scare
By pricking your hand with a bodkin

Inspired by the picture Lin sent to me

Kim Rodrigues Date: 9/28/2017 8:05:00 AM Oh, as always, Jan, you are a hoot! Can you believe when I visited my (by 14 years) younger sister, years ago, she mooned my two daughters.

Lin Lane Date: 9/25/2017 10:45:00 AM Oh Jan, you did the picture justice. I knew you'd write a great one! Here's my take...now you've inspired me. His overalls fell down in a pumpkin field/ What unsightly buttocks were revealed/ The look on his face/ was one of disgrace/ His bum-kins were no longer concealed Login to Reply Tim Smith Date: 9/25/2017 12:21:00 PM The wiggle worm peeked out his head...no longer in the pumpkin bed...the earth far below...oh where would he go... empty hallows he sure did dread Lin Lane Date: 9/25/2017 11:37:00 AM You may if it's your desire.
