Overheard In The Corn Field


Said young Mr Pumpkin,
To old Mr Squash,
" Do you think Mr. Corn over-hears
What we say when we talk
Of his self-conscious stalk,
And his moving Miss Melon to tears?"

"I cannot decide,"
Mr Squash then replied,
"But I've had my suspicions for years;
Because he's so tall
He can lean over all;
Then look at the size of his ears."
