 Jack And Jill-O-Lantern~*Marge Tindal*~ There was a little punkin' growing in a patch. Along came Farmer Lantern, and a scheme was hatched. Farmer Lantern loved the punkin' and wanted to see just how pretty his little punkin' could be. He took her home, lovingly carved her face, put a candle in her and put her in place. The little goblins came on Halloween night. The punkin' showed a smile from the candle burning bright. Farmer Lantern named his punkin' and he called her Jill. She sat forever and ever on his window sill. She started to get lonely, wanting the little goblins to come back. So Farmer Lantern carved another punkin' and he named him Jack. So happy Jack-O-Lantern and sweet Jill-O-Lantern too, lived with Farmer Lantern Boooo ! Boooo ! Boooo !  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
