Sugared Watermelon

Bought a tiny watermelon
Going to cut his top right off
Then cut his round bottom
So he won't topple and doff

Going to gut him with a scoop
Eating the guts until covered red
But spit out all that black slimy poop
Tonight won't be very early to bed

On the remains drawing a scary face
It will be so grotesque not a disgrace
Sharp, razor sharp exacto knife
Stab cut out those outlines all life

Now his grotesque face shines
So brightly that almost blinds
Our Jack-o-Latern will be best beast
A spooky treat a very delicious feast

(Rhyme sorta)

Good morning, Sara, A watermelon instead of a pumpkin... great idea! And now there are even white pumpkins. One year, when money was tight, I couldn't afford those BIG beautiful orange ones. So, I went to a farmer's market and bought scar faced pumpkins...one for each of my children. We didn't carve that year. Their marbled skin inspired "face paintings" and masks. It was a delightful variation... and memorable. Enjoy your jack-o-lantern. Lovingly, Dane
