FIVE JACK O’LANTERNS
Sitting on a fence.
One rolled off and left its friends.
It lay on the ground and as time went by…
Snails made trails on the shell outside.
Four Jack O’Lanterns
Sitting on a fence
One rolled off and left its friends
It lay on the ground and as time went by…
Ants held a dance on the pulpy rind.
Three Jack O’Lanterns
Sitting on a fence
One rolled off and left its friends
It lay on the ground and as time went by…
Squirrels had a whirl with the seeds inside.
Two Jack O’Lanterns
Sitting on a fence.
One rolled off and left its friend.
It lay on the ground and as time went by…
A fox gnawed the stem off in one big bite.
One Jack O’Lantern
Sitting on a fence--
All alone without its friends
Hallowee’n came and as time went by,
It’s spooky face grinned through the midnight sky.
No Jack O’Lanterns sitting on the fence.
Not one Jack O’Lantern left. But Thanksgiving came… just in time…
‘Cuz we turned the Jack O’Lanterns into pie!
Filled our tummies with pumpkin pie!
Yummy yummy yummy for pumpkin pie!
