Or mother will use it
Too cook and bake some pies

And grins from ear to ear

P1: The month is amber
Gold and brown
Blue ghosts of smoke
Float through the town
Great v’s of geese
Honk overhead
And maples turn
A fiery red
P2: Frost bites the lawn
The stars are slits
In a black cat’s eye
Before the spits
At last small witches
Goblins hags
And pirates armed
With paper bags
Their costumes hinged
On safety pins
Go haunt a night
Of pumpkin grins
