Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Home for Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day I went out

Into my front yard and did see

Something long past its time no doubt.

Halloween's Jack-O-Lantern be

Still sitting in a corner spot.

I should have taken it by now

Out to the trash but I forgot.

It just had slipped my mind somehow.

I walked over to pick it up,

But saw it now was someone's house.

So I left the pumpkin shell - yup,

To be home for the small mouse.

To ev'ry creature big and small

A Happy Thanksgiving to all.
