Gary Smith Poet Monorhyme

'head' of the Household

Mother carved a pumpkin head

Boy, how it filled me with dread.

Laughing, "it looks so real I said,

It could be taken from the dead."

I thought she'd smile, but instead

I saw her flush, her face went red.

I asked "where is father, still in bed ?"

It was then that mother fled.
