Behind The Pumpkin Eater’s Tale
There’s a story rhyme
from another time
of a hidden crime -
the made-up tale of
marriage minus love.
I bet this Peter,
a “pumpkin eater,”
was a wife beater.
Some say that his wife
led a cheating life,
which caused Peter strife.
He still had no right
to lock her up tight,
preventing her flight -
In a pumpkin put?
Her ashes with soot!
