HALLOWEEN POEMS

I'm a Little Pumpkin 

~ adapted by E. Lassiter 

Tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little pumpkin, 

orange and round.

I grow on a vine from 

a seed in the ground.

When I get all grown up,

give me a face.

Put me outside,

in a very safe place. 

Mother Goose Rhyme: Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a wife but couldn't keep her,
Put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well.

Pumpkins

Pumpkin large
Pumpkin small
Pumpkin short
Pumpkin tall
Pumpkin orange
Pumpkin green
All are ready for Halloween!
