I love pumpkin. Quite a lot.
Love it cold. And love it hot.
Made in soups or cakes or pies,
I even like my pumpkin fries!
And so in honor of this treat,
I have some jokes that can’t be beat,

The Grands and I had lots of fun,
Just telling jokes till we were done,

Sometimes it’s good, and sometimes ‘ewww!’
The fun is sending it to you!
