Pumpkins Swelled
Outside his home a Geek finds a surprise
Three lit pumpkins desiring compromise
They wanted people to know their power
He soon found them giving him a shower
The evil resonates from deep inside
Each Jack-O-Lantern shows off its great pride
Fear that one experiences from each
A fresh heart is just what they do beseech
The Geek not knowing his untimely fate
Approached the pumpkins which he fears of late
Pumpkins swelled and grew absorbing his soul
He fell, leaving his mark right on the knoll
Halloween is not what it used to be
When children walked around getting candy
