The squirrel is on the pumpkin
he's eating it with care.
The squirrel is on the pumpkin,
the cats are quite aware.
The squirrel is on the pumpkin,
the toddlers squeal with joy.
The squirrel is on the pumpkin,
and looking rather coy.

The pumpkin, it was happy!
A Halloween delight
Now the face is gone
A post-Halloween fright.

Yet leaving it there in the windowbox
Where cat and child can see
We watch those silly squirrels
Eat with curiosity.

The squirrel is on a pumpkin
Is it a sign of fall?
The squirrel is on the pumpkin
The last left of them all.
The squirrel is on the pumpkin
I wonder how long it will last
The squirrel is on the pumpkin
With winter coming fast.
