You remember this little fellow from only two weeks ago.
Leaps and bounds.
Great strides.
I don't know if Beggars' Night will be
October 26th, a Saturday, or
October 31st, but it will happen.
The little pumpkin that could may become orange, yet.
In the meantime, I am assured the other two are safe.

For ten years I've watched the road super
Lay in his Beggars' Night goods.
And thought little of it, except he does it,
Sitting on the end of the township drive,
Treating all the spooks and goblins who come by.
Think I'll go by this year and check on the pumpkins.
Do you have a dicy road super, that pumpkin is a real quick grower.

Is that the little guy by the gravel mound? He has grown. May he survive the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteOrange soda and cracker jacks? Maybe I'll be by.
ReplyDeleteWow. Great strides indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow. Going gang-busters.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know the pumpkins' new identities.

He sounds like a really nice guy.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a really nice chap.
ReplyDeleteIf it is still green at the end of the month, there is always spray paint. I am sure you won't need it though, as it looks like it is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteI once won a pumpkin carving contest at church. Got a nice gift card to a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWill the road super crave the other two pumpkins? Those cracker jacks by the case - 3 cases would be more than enough to handle our crowd.
ReplyDeleteI do accept cracker jack tips BTW.
I've never heard of Beggars' Night. Tell me more!
ReplyDeletePower to the pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin has grown! I'm rooting for it to be bigger and orange come Halloween!
ReplyDeletebetty
May the pumpkins shine brightly and the " beggars " be rewarded ( make them do a trick ! )
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of soft drink and crackerjack.
ReplyDeleteI hope the pumpkin makes it to its prearranged destiny.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little feller! But my how he's grown...
ReplyDeleteThat little fellow has excelled himself
ReplyDeleteCracker Jacks are pretty good, and orange pop, Oh My.
ReplyDeleteThere's more than one way to get an orange pumpkin ... actually, if you're going to paint it, try pink and purple polka dots - that's what they did at my dad's nursing home :) It actually looks very good!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin can't relax till halloween is over!!!
