Pumpkin poem
One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?
(I'm so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins only grow in the ground!)
Pumpkin poem
When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun had gone to bed,
Up jumped the pumpkin,
And this is what he said:
I'm a dingle dangle pumpkin
With a flippy floppy hat.
I can shake my stem like this,
And shake my vine like that.
The above poems were taken from
DLTK 's crafts and activities for kids.
Pumpkin song (tune: I'm a little teapot)
I'm a little pumpkin
Orange and round.
Here is my stem,
There is the ground.
When I get all cut up,
Don't you shout!
Just open me up
And scoop me out!
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said, Oh, my it's getting late!
The second one said, There are owls in the air!
The third one said, But we don't care!
The fourth one said, Let's run and run and run!
The fifth one said, I'm ready for some fun!
Then Woooo went the wind
And out (clap) went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
