Happy Halloween

The pumpkins were carved and left without care

On my dining room table for goblins to scare

We went right to bed and did not think to check

But this morning we wondered, "What the heck?"

Our pumpkin was missing the stars that were made
To give the look of a celestial parade

Where can they be, what could have happened?

Was a ghost in our house and quietly nabbing them?

When what to my listening ears I did hear?

But a dog crunching loudly on our stars so dear

She gave but one look, not the slightest remorse

And continued to eat her pumpkin treat of course

So now I am left to explain their demise
And know that with our pumpkins
next year we will be more wise!
