War On Pumpkins?

Shades of Charley Brown waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear

Our wizards in D.C. once again are spreading climate change fear

The latest is all the pumpkins appearing as Jack-O-Lanterns on Halloween

Calls for the tradition of carving pumpkins to be weaned

Not because of the heat generated by millions of candles glowing in the night

As millions of children flock into the streets enjoying the Trick or Treat rites

No the concern is that the millions of pumpkins into the trash disposed

Release tons of methane gas into the air as they decompose

Methane gas is not an air quality friend

Absent converting the pumpkins into bio fuels get ready for a new trend

The Great Pumpkin may still appear but do not be surprised

Plastic reusable  precarved pumpkins will be the Halloween prize

Another tradition to end of a family going to the pumpkin patch

Sorting through the pumpkins to find the perfect match

To then carve a Jack-O-Lantern to light up the Halloween night

As costumed ghouls and goblins are grabbing candy to later into bite
