Ode to a Mellowcreme Pumpkin
by
McPolack, Inc.
You are orange and green
You taste like a dream
And you are manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts, tree nuts, sunflower seeds, milk, soy, and wheat
You herald the fall
From the special Halloween candy aisle I hear your call
You contain Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed and/or Soybean Oil, which adds a dietarily insignificant amount of fat
Oh, sweet, sweet mellowcreme pumpkin...let's get together tonight in front of the Gilmore Girls
Where I will feast upon you until I very nearly hurl
They don't put nearly enough of you in the Brach's Autumn Mix.
Amen
I hope McPolack doesn't mind I hijacked her poem - it made me laugh! I am so downloading some ribbon candy wallpaper to my work computer tomorrow! You can get mellowcreme pumpkin wallpaper too!

Thanks, K! I feel so honored! My next step is to have my work appear in The Paris Review. I tell you, those pumpkins inspire me like nothing else.
From Male Mannequin to the Paris Review - a natural progression! Oh, and the Autum Mix wallpaper looks awesome on my desktop!
I didn't know they were called "Mellowcreme." That's going to be the name of my next band for sure.
