Poor Shouting Pumpkins...

Poor shouting Pumpkins

Standing on a shelf.

Greedy for a customer,

Someone to take of them

Good care.


But a cheeky little one

Loudly, as only she could dare

Shouted HALLOWEEN!

And the poor shouting Pumpkin

Ended up, chopped up by a Chef.


For poor shouting Pumpkins

Think, they cannot be heard.


But in the streets of London,

Where all sorts of things can be heard

If you are a bright shouting Pumpkin

Standing on a shelf,

You’d better watch out

For all those, not-so-grown-up Chefs.


Sing, sing shouting Pumpkins,

For late October is here, not there.
