MAKING JACK O' LANTERNS
Just take a golden pumpkin
Of quite the largest size,
Cut all 'round the stem, just so,
Scrape out the inside below,
And cut two holes for eyes.
Now, fix a nose beneath,
And such a great big mouth with teeth,
And there you have a jack-o'-lantern!
Then place a candle,
Just big enough to light,
And when it flickers, see him blink,
And when it flares up, see him wink
And smile so broad and bright.
This is the jolliest sort of a fellow,
With cheery face so round and yellow,
This funny jack-o'-lantern.
