There once was a pumpkin who had fun in the sun, He'd bounce and he'd chase and bite people for fun.

His vine tried to hold him to no avail, He bit the thick vine into a fine tail.

His behavior was rambunctious for such a small squash, Even if his parents didn't think it so posh.

He terrorized the humans and plants just the same, He enjoyed popping up through the mud when it rained.

But the humans, it seemed, were a bit more spry, and they turned the little squash into pumpkin pie.

Turns out it was the squash got the last laugh, For everyone who ate him suffered a nasty rash.

Happy Halloween.
