Trunk O’lantern

Lantern mine, don’t you cry.

Lantern mine, triangle eyes.

Rest your head close to my trunk,

Halloween punk, lantern mine.

    I still tear up whenever I hear that song or see that scene from Dumbo. I will sing that to my babies if I have ever any.

  3. Punkin looks a bit apprehensive!

    Fabulous poem, Crazy Pants! Also, I love how the Jack-o-lantern is so expressive. He looks like he’s saying, “ug.”

    OHMAGAWWD that song! Brings tears to my eyes every time (thanks Disney and Dumbo!). And that poor pumpkin is the saddest looking jack o’ lantern I’ve seen.

    This is TOTALLY off subject but do you all have that drawer in the kitchen where EVERYTHING ends up? I have four of them. And I just cleared all of them out. It’s an entire huge garbage bag of total and completely useless crap. I have no idea why I was keeping all of that stuff. Now it’s in a bag to be shredded. :)

      It’s called a Junk Drawer and, sadly, I have but one.

    Yeah, but somebody hollowed out all the good stuff! That doesn’t seem fair. Where’s all that nice gooey and crunchy stuff?

    I love the color contrast between muted fall leaves in the background and gray heffalump with bright orange punkin. :)

    Yesterday I watched several animals receive pumpkins to play with and nom at the Cincinnati Zoo! It was pretty wonderful. The elephants there stomped the pumpkins into more manageable bits before attempting to eat. The red panda, however, were the most entertaining pumpkin fiends.
