Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Red Chili Peppers

We be the chili peppers that

Be bicycled through village street

To place on doors of habitat

As a wreathed red symbol to greet

Any that may come by at night,

Planning to wreak havoc inside,

Causing inhabitants such fright.

So they be grateful we're supplied

By those who grow and harvest us,

And bring us by in timely mode

To ward off any nightly fuss

Of evil upon the abode.

We are protective where we stay.

Werewolves and vampires keep away.
