Pumpkin Head
Nanny once told me, “you are what you eat”,
So mummy’s an olive, and daddy’s some meat,
My brother eats everything, he may be a cake,
An apple, macaroni, an ice cream with flake.
He once ate a pumpkin, ’twas just a small bite,
What happened soon after, did give us a fright,
The very next morning I went to his bed,
I couldn’t believe it, he had a pumpkin head!
Now, my brother is funny, he’s sporty and cool,
But how can a pumpkin go into school?
Will anyone believe me, what should I say,
“This is my brother, he’s a pumpkin today”.
I call out for mummy, I call out to dad,
“Come look quickly, his heads really bad!”,
I think we can fix him, I grinned and I said,
“Let’s carve out eyes and a mouth on his head”.
“Don’t be silly!” says daddy, “Quiet!” says mum,
“Your head is a pumpkin, what have you done!”,
My brother sits up, and he jumps out of bed,
Placing a hat on his big orange head.
A hop and a dance, a wiggle and a kick,
A magic spell, with a walking stick!
He waves it and moves, sways side to side,
And this is the magic spell that he cried;
“Pumpkin head, pumpkin head, look at me!
I’ve seeds for a brain, do you want to see?
Today is the best day that’s ever been!
Today is my day, it is Halloweeeeen!”
This was quite scary, where is my brother?
I turned and looked, where was my mother?
Dad’s disappeared too, where had he gone?
A voice downstairs “Breakfast won’t be long!”
I walk slowly down, and what do I see,
Three pumpkin heads, drinking tea!
I glance at the mirror, and to my surprise ,
A pumpkin head with carved out eyes…
