Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

To Pick a Pumpkin

To pick a pumpkin, I have found,
It’s best to choose one nice and round 
And if you are the one dispatched,
Select one with the stem attached.

The orange color of the fall
Is universal to them all,
So just be sure there’s no surprise 
In what you buy regarding size.

Then make your choice or choices and
Do with your pumpkins what you’ve planned -
For jack-o-lanterns or display
Will brighten everybody’s day.
