When Good Pumpkins Go Bad
I hope your weekend of trick or treating was terrific and that your sugar headache has begun to subside. While I was researching last week’s ‘Ode to the Pumpkin’ series I stumbled across some hysterical (and a little gross) post holiday pumpkin pictures. As these poor jack o lanterns dried, shriveled and grew little mold beards their faces transformed to sad expression of horror. Paired with an apropos poem by the beloved Mr. Silverstein, we bid farewell to Halloween.
Day After Halloween
A Poem by Shel SilversteinSkeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.
It’s a halloween sale:
A nickel a pail
For skeletons, spirits and haunts.Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
More than most anyone wants.
Will you pay for a shock,
‘Cause we’re quite overstocked
On skeletons, spirits and haunts.
