It all goes back to years ago
\nA folk tale so I\u2019m told
\nSome bloke who carried a carved out turnip
\nWith glowing coals of old
\nWandering in the afterlife
\nThe jack o lantern came
\nStingy jack
\nWho tricked the devil
\nApparently the same<\/p>\n
Hence we use the pumpkin
\nAnd carve fearful faces
\nThere upon
\nIt\u2019s all tied up with Samhain
\nThe end of Summer, summer gone
\nAnd souls that died
\nAnd those before
\nTravel back in time
\nVisit our homes
\nWhen the veil is thin
\nTo communicate in rhyme<\/p>\n
What to do with the pumpkins
\nEat them
\nThey are good
\nNinety per cent water
\nIn the compost would be good
\nDon\u2019t throw them in the forest
\nWith candle grease and stuff
\nThat may sicken the wild souls
\nAnd their life\u2019s already tough<\/p>\n
Vitamin A and C and E
\nSo eat the flesh
\nOr you
\nCan scoop it out and compost it
\nAnd use the skin it\u2019s true
\nCover it with cloth and
\nYou have a vegan bowl
\nPut your sweets inside for YULE
\nThere another role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
