Alabaster

White pumpkin
You are pale in the patch
How can you make Trick-Or-Treaters gasp?

Are you a ghost or a ghoul?
Or are you just a pretty pearl?

I will carve you and make you a frightful sight
A candle to make you glow in the night
A sinister grin and cruel eyes are in place

I now love your ghastly alabaster hew
