One Shock Sunday: A Halloween Special - Haunted Pumpkins - October 31, 2010
For many months they grew,
On hills above the sea,
Kissed by morning fog,
Awaiting destiny.
At night, when all lay sleeping,
Evil spirits walked the rows,
And picked out certain pumpkins,
Made note of by black crows.
Instead of fertilizer,
The birds made sure each day,
That a ghastly preparation,
Was added to their spray.
As Halloween approached,
Those pumpkins, prized by all,
Were the first bought by the public,
The biggest and the small.
They went to towns all over,
The San Francisco Bay,
For thousands came from everywhere,
To celebrate that day.
No one ever knew,
That for one hundred souls,
Tragedy would befall them,
The spirits had to meet their goals.
