                                           Mystery of Pumpkin

                                   One upon a time, not far back,
                               Grew in my small backyard garden
                                   A pumpkin, size of a tortoise,
                                 A monster, with weight of a ton
                              And had to be chopped with an axe;

                           Friends wished to have its seeds to plant,
                                   Alas, it was a seedless male;

                             News spread fast in the neighbourhood
                                       Leading to police enquiry
                                      For concealing information,
                                         But after investigation
                                    Turned out to be a mystery.
