PUMPKIN CHERUB

THE PUMPKIN CHERUB
Said a bright little pumpkin to me one day
As I was passing by,
“Won't you please make a cherub of me?
I know you can if you try;
I'm so afraid of being made
Into a pumpkin pie.”
Said I, “A pumpkin cherub is something
new,
But I'll try and see what I can do.''
So I picked him up right then and there,
And pinned on some tufts of grass for
hair,
Two near-by squashes I gave him for arms,
Chubby hands of carrots to match.
I made him lips from a pepper red,
Wings of leaves from the cabbage patch.
And lastly two wonderful eyes for his
head
I found for him in my onion bed.
Now that my cherub here you spy,
Prefer you cherub or pumpkin pie?
