Jack~O~Lantern brightly shine,
through lips up~curved or down;
eyes convey either joy or gloom,
of droopy lips, a frown.

Once a bright orange pumpkin
now a hollow'd sphere;
creating eeirie feelings as
Halloween draws near.

Belightig many a window sill,
with shadows on the wall;
awaiting trick or treaters
with darkness soon to fall.

Play your role, dear Mr. Jack,
midst cobwebs, witches brew;
eyeball of a toadie, bat's wing,
t'will be a stew.

Add the tongue of lizard,
a dash of this 'n that;
The spooks will booooo
kids screamin' to see the witches hat!

Remember, Mr. Jack~O~Lantern
before long a BIG surprise;
that knife that carved your glowing face will change into pumpkin pies!
